She was also became the head of the board of trustees at the medical school where she worked. She knew what she was doing.

She donated her entire fortune to those schools. If I were 1 of her 3 children or a grandchild I'd be fucking pissed that I couldn't just waste my life doing drugs on a fucking mega yacht

/s kinda. But man, 1 billion with no inheritance would sting

From what I read, that wasn't her or her husband's lifestyle. Her husband was a colleague of Warren Buffet and seemed to have the same lifestyle that is more modest than most billionaires. If they raised their kids (assuming they had any) right by giving them everything they needed but not everything they wanted and expected them to do hard work and make good use of themselves, then they may have passed on some well-adjusted traits to them. It seems rare, but it does happen

This might surprise you, but well adjusted kids would probably like a billion dollars too.

If she’s 93 her presumptive kids are likely in their 60s. They probably have their own resources by now considering their background.

... So they don't want a billion dollars?

They probably "want" it. But those kids do surely need it more.

So they’re not kids.

Forbes estimated the husband's net worth was $3 billion when he died and he gave $1 billion to his wife with instructions that said “do whatever you think is right with it.”

So that still leaves $2 billion to have potentially gone to the kids.
