Miss Birdie's will (book spoiler maybe)


I thought I remembered from the book that Miss Birdie ended up actually having a lot of money. Not from her second husband but maybe another husband? I can't remember if she died and he found out or if she told him. Or am I remembering this ending wrong in the book?

Would appreciate someone elaborating on this. Thanks.

No Miss Birdie has no money (at least not twenty million as stated in her will) at all. She was "escorted" by her kids and grandkids to Florida, right after Rudy was made the 50m guy her sons also uncovered that their dearest mum was not loaded with gold. She being sent back to Memphis then.

Her total worth was something in the neighborhood of $42000. In the book, Rudy sent Deck to Atlanta to try and find out about it and that's what he found. When the lawyer her sons took her to called Rudy and asked about it he said he couldn't break the attorney/ client privelidge. Miss Birdie went to stay with her family in Florida and by the end of the book she was ready to come home. That's how it ended. I just read the book again last week so it's still fresh in my mind. I hope this doesn't spoil it for anyone.

Whaaaat... dooooeeees... theeeee... yeeeel-looowwww... liiiiight... meeeeaaan?
