I actually met him once! He was out near Alpine, TX, with his brother, and a group of friends, on an annual get-together mule deer hunt (Texas is not exactly known for monster mulies, but, apparently, they just liked this particular ranch/outfitter). Seemed to be pretty down to earth. First words out of his mouth (I heard him before I saw him) were "where can I get a beer around here?"
Apparently, back during the filming for Quigley Down Under, he got interested in vintage rifle cartridges. Every year, he'd come out to this hunt with a newly-refurbished antique (I initially cringed, thinking that would just destroy the value of the rifle, but then again, I suppose a rifle owned by Tom Selleck would probably have its own value in the eyes of a collector . . .). This particular year, it was, IIRC, a .45-70 (we were at dinner, so he hadn't brought it along with him). I asked him what he did with the previous year's rifle, since he brought a different one every season, and he told me that he liked to hang the rifles with the shoulder mounts of each year's buck.
Anyway, he seemed to be perfectly comfortable sitting around chit-chatting and sharing a beer with a group of "nobodies." Likeable guy.
But . . . I still wouldn't do a reverse mortgage!
Cool, thanks for sharing.

I have heard the first generation builds the fortune, the next generation maintains the fortune, and the third generation pizzes it all away.
I have a third generation friend, from back in my motorcycle period, he sure is still having a good time with cocaine and expensive hookers tho.
There is an old saying, from the Middle East, "Sandals to sandals in three generations." The first guy is so poor he can't even afford shoes, he has to wear cheap sandals. He works hard and builds a fortune and he finally has nice shoes. His son maintains, and expands the fortune. And his son pizzes it all away. Towards the end of his life all he can afford is sandals.

I visited with him after a mutual friend's funeral services. We talked about Sharps rifles and he was telling my wife I needed one as a good investment. Heckuva nice guy, I think.
