I know both Lansky's daughter and grandson, and have spoken with them on this. The estimates of his net worth were greatly overstated!
Thank you, Scott. I was hoping you'd make a guest appearance.
I'm a New Yorker, but I live in Delray part time now, and I have longtime ties to South Florida. My parents had a place in Sunny Isles years back, and a few of the neighbor people knew Teddy Lansky very, very well.
I heard that she didn't have all that much after Meyer died. And she was more than a little bitter about it (and that she wasn't very nice to begin with
) .
