I don't think I've been on these forums for over 6 years. So hello, everyone!
So, I've been back on a Buk kick after a while away from his stuff, and was thinking about the times he reacted to people who criticized him for not writing about low-lives and poverty after he'd become relatively prosperous. Basically saying he always wrote what he knew, and that prosperity was what he knew at the time. Maybe it was in the Sounes book where he talks about Buk's accountant suggesting he buy a car, so he goes to get a BMW and the salesman looks at him like "yeah right". Then Buk bowls said salesman over by paying for the car in "cash". Don't know if he literally forked over a stack of bills or if that means he simply paid without needing a loan, but no matter.
So, this isn't my principal concern about Bukowski, but I was wondering what his net worth was at the time of his death. The "Celebrity net Worth" website says 4 million. No idea if this is probable or not. Was also curious if there is an estimated value on his estate now.
Like I said, not my principal concern but idle curiosity. I kind of hesitated to post because it feels a bit crass. Also, yes, I did a search of the forums and either it hasn't been addressed or my search skills are crap!
Once again, hello again after so many years. There are so many thoughtful and informed threads on these forums. Great reading.
