That was McClintock. He was leaving her like 18 acres out of a multi-thousand acre cattle ranch.
Dumbass didn't have the forethought to scheme up a Hearst Castle type corporate structure.

@pepsi_man @Rudolf_von_Goldenbaum It was at least semi-noble by having it turned into national park land, but still grating.

@pepsi_man Funny you mention John Wayne, there’s a movie where he’s a wealthy rancher in the 1800’s and he tells his daughter she isn’t getting any inheritance because muh bootstraps. I think the land in his will was going to natives or something.
