No, private day school. Boarding schools aren't popular with Texans as they're seen as breeding grounds for godless communisits, and even worse, democrats....No spankings at school, but my dad spanked the [censored] out of me if acted up.

$150 - $200 million depending on the price of oil and various stocks on any given day.
Value of Assets in my name: $10 - $20 million, once again dependent on the value of oil any given day.

I can't liquidate most of the assets until I'm 25 (I'm 22 now). But I have a etrade portfolio I could get about $100,000 out of. Another $100,000 out of credit cards and checking accounts. I could borrow up to a million probably against some of my assets at a bank, but that could take a couple weeks. So I'll say a quarter million cash in the next 48.

Nah, i've lived a pretty modest life. My parents believe in artifical deprivation. I play poker for enjoyment, and I also like to think I can make my own way and in the world -- although realistically there's little chance I can make more than I've inherited even if I work my ass off. There's that element of luck in life as well as poker.
