Aretha's Got Two Big ‘Uns, And Her Sons Are Fighting Over Them!

By

Leave it to Aretha to have two of everything - including two handwritten Wills. In terms of the later, a trial on Monday will determine which will be honored and which of her four sons, along with a mess of grandchildren, will cash in on her recording catalog and royalties and an estate worth 80 million smackers. 

One of her handwritten Wills, I kid you not, was found stuffed in her couch cushions (amidst a mound of tater chips, fermented Werther's and enough candied pecans to choke every citizen in Detroit. Twice) (I keed, I keed). Sadly, if this goes on for any length of time, the only ones making any money will be the lawyers. I'm sure Aretha has an opinion about this, but then she famously had an opinion about everything. 

Somewhere in Heaven Land, Aretha's nemesis Tina Turner is cackling, because you know Tina took care of her business before she left this mortal coil - and used a lawyer with an actual computer and a printer. 


But then Aretha famously didn't give two fuques about what anyone thought about anything she did. After all, she had four different outfit changes at her open-casket viewing - with a funeral that lasted eight hours. Eight! Necessary? No. Did she care? Also no.

In 1990, Rita Crundwell assumed the role of comptroller in Dixon, Illinois. After serving for seven years, she clandestinely established the Reserve Sewer Capital Development Account (RSCDA) and utilized it to siphon off nearly $2.5 million annually from the city. By 2008, she had illicitly obtained a staggering $5.8 million, a substantial portion of Dixon's modest annual budget, which ranged between $8-9 million. Over 22 years, Crundwell embezzled upwards of $53 million and lavishly funded her lifestyle. She established and operated RC Quarter Horses, a renowned horse breeding enterprise, with her horses achieving an impressive 52 world championships. Additionally, she acquired a 45-foot motorhome and indulged in extended vacations. Crundwell deceitfully attributed the city's financial shortfall to the state's delayed tax payments, resulting in severe cutbacks in essential services across Dixon.
