In December 1971 when his great grandfathers (Charles Rolo Payne) estate was settled his grandmother became his legal guardian. She was promoted VP in charge of escrow and Trust at bank Barack was enrolled in expensive school. Family moved into a penthouse. (The family trust is still listed as income schedule E of taxes. )
Gramps wasn’t just a bookkeeper. He received one tenth of one percent of the profit of each lease he wrote on mineral rights in Kansas and
Oklahoma. The Stanley D and Stanley A wells on the family property is still producing. The company Gramps wrote leases for now owns controlling interests on Solyndra.
In other words Obama has been a millionaire since age ten. The purpose IMO of him writing a book about his AFrican heritage was to keep people from looking at his wealthy Kansas ancestors
Interesting, and completely new to me.
