Is it OK to Ask a Billionaire Cousin to Help the Kids in Your Family?
A reader asks whether it’s appropriate to approach a distant billionaire cousin about helping the children in the extended family.
Dear Eric: I am one of six cousins in a family that has been relatively close over the years as we share birthdays, weddings and holidays together quite frequently.
There’s another cousin who is part of the “other side” of the family that is not only ultra rich (billionaire) but has mostly kept her distance from the rest of us over the years.
