The article says she can't get a loan because of the $5M trust. Which is why I suggested a public university.

I'm pretty sure the attorney in the article is wrong. It would disqualify you for need-based aid, but not a private student loan - in fact, I would think banks would LOVE a customer like her.

Also, I was definitely agreeing with you - she can afford this.

You're absolutely right about a private student loan. Regardless, her mother was quoted as saying "her father never intended for her to want for an education." Want for an education??? Please. University of Texas at Austin has tuition, room, and board for just a hair over $16K annually.

I just feel so bad for her. I mean, imagine the emotional suffering that comes with facing the possibility of getting a part time job??

lol - that's right, the $25k/year as a 16 year old was "walking around money". laughable.

She was also pulled over in a BMW 325i. BMW of Columbia has a used 2006 model for $27,990. Oh, and then there is the fact that, from what I can gather from that article, her mother was a serious gold digger who went after a super rich man who was 43 years older than her, stayed with him long enough to get pregnant, and managed to get a $5M trust for her daughter out of the deal. Classy folks.

What if a super rich women wanted you to marry her and she was 43 years older than you? She was worth a billion dollars. You knew when she died you'd be set for life. Would you do it? Call me classless but I would. In this women's case he cut her out of the will and only left money to the kid.

JKC knew what he was doing. He just wanted to bang some younger tail. Look at Hugh Hefner? Or the guy that married Anna Nicole? If you were in your mid 70's or 80's, and you could still pull something 43 years younger you'd do it too. We all would. Hell, Hef is nailing hot ass 22 year olds. They sure as hell don't want him for anything else but the $ and the lifestyle. Who wants to have sex with a 75 year old women if you don't have to??

Did you check out this line in the article?

"Suzanne Martin Cooke, who married Jack Kent Cooke in 1987, when he was 74 and she was 31. The two separated within weeks, and she later said she reneged on a promise to have an abortion. She received nothing in Mr. Cooke's will."

Thats in state tuition out of state is 24,500 plus 8,500 room and board so its close to 33,000. I don't feel sorry for her just correcting the amount for anyone who may.

Well, I'm assuming she's a resident of the state of Texas, which is why I posted those numbers. Regardless, my point was she can attend a good public university in whatever state she resides and pay much less than the $23K in tuition at SMU.

Ok,but here is the question ...why should she have to?She is the child of a very wealthy man and he ...the estate or family can pay why should the state money go to her instead of someone that really needs it?She is getting screwed buy her family....her mom is a BITCH but don't take it out on the kid......her dad was a SOB also, had he done his homework the Danny would'nt have the Skins now and things would be better....IMHO.

Nope , I agree you would think other wise but after doing all the paper work for my daughter and college for the last 4 years that if that child has any money at all loans are almost impossible to get!

Pardon me while I shed NOT A SINGLE TEAR for this young woman or for anyone else in JKC's family.

There are folks in the US-of-A who have lots of real economic problems in their lives.

There are folks in Darfur who might be eating dirt boiled in water as a soup for dinner tonight.

Those kinds of folks deserve sympathy; this twit does not!

First I agree with you and your post was 100% right on ,till you called her a twit.Everyone has problems and hers might not be as bad as yours and I understand that.I just don't think she deserves the hatred thrown at her in this thread( now maybe her Mom does) but I think the kids has enough problems .

A lot of the hate is coming from the fact that in everyone's mind, including my own, is the fact that her father left her a large sum of money that everyone on the boards would love to have, and she's bitching and complaining about not getting more of her father's money.

And besides, her mother was married to JKC for only a few weeks before they divorced. It's not like she should get a large lump sum because her mom was married to a guy 40 years older than her for a few weeks. I mean she's getting 50 grand a year now, but when she turns 21 that jumps to 100 grand, and then when she turns 30, I think, she becomes a millionaire. That's basically 50 grand for free right now, she could stay jobless for the entire year and she still earns more than the lower class population. I mean if she needed the money that bad for college, take out a loan, and promise to pay it back when she turns 21 or 30.
