“Records show that George Felos, Michael Schiavo’s litigation attorney, has been paid more than $200,000 since 1997. Another Schiavo attorney, Deborah Bushnell, got $27,000. Schiavo himself was reimbursed almost $6,000 for legal costs.
“Other expenses include private aides, security guards hired after the publicity led to a ruckus outside Mrs. Schiavo’s nursing home and a lawyer appointed by a judge to represent Mrs. Schiavo in court.”

“In April 1993, Mrs. Schiavo’s money was valued at $776,254, court records show. By April 1998, it was down to $713,825.
”The money, managed first by Barnett Bank and now South Trust Bank, was invested in blue chip stocks, such as Coca-Cola, Walt Disney and Proctor & Gamble; corporate and U.S. Treasury bonds and a money market account."
A portfolio such as that could have earned $70,000 a year or more. Especially during the mid to late 1990's. It cost $3,000 to $5,000 a month to live in a nursing home.
