Today’s Wall Street Journal has a story that for the Journal is a tale of woe. An oil industry executive, John Schiller, who was worth over $30 million when oil was $100 a barrel, borrowed a lot of money and now finds himself in dire financial straits with oil in the $50s. He has all the trappings of Texas oil wealth, including a mansion and a former Playboy playmate wife. You know how these stories usually go. When boom turns to bust, the trophy wife decamps. This story is different, though, and Kristi Schiller is standing by her man.
If John and I have to move to a Mickey Gilley double-wide trailer, by God, I will have the first one ever photographed for Architectural Digest.
“Down But Not Out, Texas Oilmen Pray For Next Boom”
You’ve got to admire that kind of grit and spunk.
