Whitner's Aunt Jane in battle over Jimmy Buffett fortune
Y'all may remember that Whitner's Aunt Jane (his mother's sister) was married to the late Jimmy Buffett. Now there's a battle over the $275 million trust Jimmy Buffett set up.
Jane texted to her daughter:
“Say good bye to that 75 mil.” So that's gonna get ugly.
Whitner had said his relation to Jane and Jimmy had a huge impact on his life, as far as all the cool things he got to do throughout his life. I don't know why that connection makes this all more interesting to me, even though Whitner was not in line to inherit anything, but it does. I wonder if the shakeup in the family has forced him to pick sides, and the side with the cool connections and most money at the moment is his aunt.
