          That is hardly a blip on the stock ticker. Look at it over a few months.

                  Well, you can "take" a lot of it with you with something like an Opramidion[^] (the Pharoahs did a pretty good job of taking it with them too)

                        Shame it's bollocks. I imagine a quick Google would reveal the truth -- i.e. that he wanted his body to be secretly made to disappear, so that people would think he ascended to the Heavens.
