He feels it is too late to produce a suitable heir of his own, even though he has some frozen sperm on deposit in a sperm bank (“they said I had nine months' supply, whatever that means”). If he were to have a child right this minute, it would be a good 25 years before the child would be ready to take on the estate — “and then it would be too late,” he explained.So that Nigerian thing fell through? Is that your problem, Bunky? Well cheer up. There's this guy in Somerset, see, and has he got a deal for you! A $13 million estate (says here), complete with a 13th century manor house, included.
The beautiful Victorian wallpaper in one bedroom at Maunsel House is torn and stained. The stair carpet is frayed. “This window unfortunately fell out onto the lawn,” Sir Benjamin said, gesturing into a bathroom....Oh. Well. And (nothing's perfect in this world, Bunky) annual upkeep is $140,000, the driveway needs a $70,000 fix, and getting the stables up to snuff will set you back another $1 mil. And you'll get maybe 50,000 visitors a year. If you're lucky.
Annoyingly, not one of Sir Benjamin's vast array of British relatives seems eager to inherit.Go figure, huh?
Well if you're interested drop Sir Benjamin a note. Include a sample of your DNA.
Or you could give the Nigerian thing one more try.
