    Ah, right Lion Philips was the founder’s gramps. Still wealthy though.

    Do some people just have an opinion in mind and then look for any tiny evidence to support that?

    I really hope you see the irony in that statement. Marx may not have been rich but a lawyer’s son at that time wasn’t exactly proletariat either.
