Ross was giving money to other people and not to her ... He was charged and it isnt true." The ups and downs of Percy Ross: its no wonder the New York literary agents and Los Angeles producers are after him to do the story of his life. Born poor. the son of immigrants. twice rich. twice broke. buys a plasticbag factory in 58 for $30.000. sells it 11 years later for $8 million Gives $2 million each to his two sons and wife ("I didnt give it to her. she earned it." he corrects). cleverly invests the rest. No one now knows precisely what hes worth. the figure $20 million circulates only because a Newsweek reporter put that to him once as a guess. and Percy shrugged. and so it remains in the files. Its enough. at any rate. to do what he likes with it. and what he likes to do is give it away.
