I don’t think that’s it at all. When you’re in finance in ny, there are wild swings all the time. Look at some of the most successful real estate funds, and most have had moments when they’ve been underwater. Many of the successful managers are former athletes, across the board they’re either very cocky or on the spectrum. They always think there’s the next big thing and they usually have to double down to get there. I’ve seen some wild rides. Obviously they don’t usually end like this, but if every manager gave up when he was down, a lot of funds would fold. This one is more complicated w/ being the second generation, but look how he went after a bigger project when he was in debt. That’s what they do. It just generally doesn’t carry over into extremes in personal spending.
Nothing about their lifestyle was equal to the size of their fund, even if it had been successful. She was spending as if he were a manager at tiger or citadel, not some run of the mill 2nd tier RE fund.
Couple of things
-why didn't or couldn't he tell the wife their lifestyle wasn't sustainable in the short,medium or long term?
- The description of the NY real estate industry doesn't apply to him—he was never even a medium player, not even close.He was at the very bottom of the pole as far as NY real estate is concerned.
- Nothing has described this guy as being in finance. It's been said over and over again that he was in real estate .

The drone pic of their Hamptons house featuring the green pool full of algae is fitting for the article...
I was wondering why it was so clouded. That makes perfect sense - the first time you miss the monthly payment to the pool guy, he stops showing up. Gets gross very quickly. A pool guy is like $300/month....and they couldn't make that payment. So dumb.

Seems excessive and an abuse of the life insurance system, no?
