Millionaire Pretends to Be Poor Meeting the Parents of His Son’s Fiancee — Story of the Day
Sam Sutton’s fortune from an unbreakable engine sealant shaped his son Will’s life. After losing his wife Rain to illness, Sam raised Will with love, unaware it drew shallow friends and suitors. Heartbroken by a gold-digger, Will devised a plan to attend Yale as a “poor” student, wearing second-hand clothes. This worked, and he met Eddy, who loved him for himself. Her wealthy parents, Marta and Farlow, disapproved, mocking Will and Sam during Christmas. Sam, feigning
poverty, let them believe he was broke. When they gifted Will a Porsche, Sam countered with a Tribeca brownstone deed, revealing his $570 million fortune. Shocked, Marta and Farlow embraced the couple, who married and later had a daughter, Rain. Sam moved next door, ensuring family closeness. The ruse taught Eddy’s parents a lesson in true worth, turning their disdain into support.
