Among the holdings they control from their law offices are the Marmon Group Inc., a diverse collection of businesses that last year had sales of $79 million, and the Colson Corp.

"The King," they called him, and he lived the part - 18 secretaries to answer his fan mail, a 280-acre estate near Baltimore, 300 Great Danes, and a gold-trimmed Marmon limousine. He made and spent $6,000,000 in five years, and then his secret got out - a wife and five children.
