I realize I'm not putting much thought into this post, and I forget
the name of the guy that is uber-rich, that made a few unsucessful
baloon adventures to try to float around the world, or the atlantic
etc, then he flew a plane for some record around the world soso
attempt, then on his last adventure of what ever glorious feat he was
labeled as "missing"..

What ever came of the guy? Did he survive? be found? rescued? or is
still..."Missing"?


Steve Fossett is the name you are tring to remember. His wife has
gone to court to have him declared dead.


She must be holding some large insurance polices.



She wouldn't need any, he was probably self insured.

Other than your assets, how do you self insure life insurance?

If you have assets in the 8 figures, your assets are enough to protect
your loved ones. He was retired, so him and his wife were already
living off his assets.

If you have enough assets you do not need insurance. Except if needed to
pay death taxes.
