How the fuck is it that so many rich and famous multi-millionaires are dying in their 50s?
I would think that they would have access to the best health care and the best support and have the most reasons to take care of their health so that they can enjoy all of their wealth and success, and yet so many of them off it in their fifties. It just doesn’t make any sense.
Wealth and fame are like alcohol: they don’t make you happy. They can only augment happiness that’s already there. If someone isn’t happy before getting drunk, they don’t become a “happy drunk”.
Not sure or not it had anything to do with this case, but in some situations the ultra wealthy end up getting worse health care than the merely wealthy. Testing when it otherwise wouldn’t be done is a big one, these “executive health programs” where mris and many other tests are ordered for no good reason, and now suddenly we have biopsies and procedures or chemotherapy even for something that likely wasn’t even a problem to begin with.
Or they begin doctor shopping, not taking any sort of “no” from a doctor until they find one who’ll give them anything they want or tell them they have any diagnosis they think they must have. And suddenly you have Michael Jackson getting propofol in a very unsafe situation, or Prince getting prescribed excessive opioids. There can be a double edged sword when it comes to the ultra wealthy health tourist types and Healthcare.

Not 100% sure if it contributed to his death, but he had a history of substance abuse.
All the healthcare in the world won’t help when you drown, which appears to be the cause of death here.

It makes a lot of sense when you assume that wealth and success is no longer something they can or want to enjoy
