Makes you wonder what was going on in his life. Seems a shame to be so wealthy and yet so unhappy.

LOL

It does prove that all the money in the world doesn't necessarily bring peace of mind and happiness.

Short summary from his farewell letter:

He had uncurable Alzheimer. According to himself he dont wanted to live in this inadequate state. He already had delays in conversations now and then. He was dead set to kill himself. He greatest concern always was to loose control over his life.

Nothing about money and fame...
