Beverley Schottenstein had a family fortune, a Florida condo and mounting fears she was being cheated by two of her grandsons—who also happened to be her money managers at America’s biggest bank. So she decided to teach them a lesson. (Corrects to remove photo in original video published April 27, 2021 at post-publication request of Avi and Evan Schottenstein.)

    The saddest part of this ... they had no need for doing it. They were already wealthy and in line to inherit a share of it anyway. Greed destroys your soul.
  • @lekis5975
    All she wanted was an apology from her wayward son and grandsons, and they couldn't even afford her that. Heartbreaking.
  • @teachatami45
    Grandma thanks for standing up. Some of these children get such a great platform and they still are greedy.
  • @marshhen
    Ultimately the saddest thing in this video is that neither her son nor her two grandsons EVER came upstairs to talk to her and apologize or explain. That must hurt the most. Just goes to show that money cannot protect you from pain and hurt from the ones you love most.
  • I love how emotionally invested and empathetic that garegiver is. What a great friendship. You can see how close they are and how she is guarding the old lady, who is fragile only in her physical form. And to all of you cynical souls who say she as well is only after money: you know, some people, especially the ones not growing up with silver spoons, have actual values and integrity and don't even want more than the actual compensation of their work. Believe it or not.
  • @MultiY4
    You can tell she is really still sad about her jewelry. You don't mess with a woman's jewelry.
  • Unbelievable. Your son sells your jewellery to settle his own bad debt without telling you. That is grand scale theft.
  • Glad that grandma didn't just sit back and didn't do anything, proud of this lady.
  • @CrazyJodice
    This is one of the highest levels of disrespect and monstrosity. This was their elder, that jewelry was most likely family jewels. Family history sold off. I hope those women protect her and heal her heart.
  • They take millions frome her, and she's concerned about them not feeling sorry and just wanted them to repent and say Im sorry. What a lady.
  • I work in Long Term Care and unfortunately this is the story of so many seniors in this country. They place “trusted” loved ones over their finances and they rob them blind. Her caregiver seems like a sweet woman and I pray this woman gets EVERYTHING that she deserves
  • @TBISYTC
    Moral of the story: trust no one; keep "family" out of your finances, especially when large sums of money is involved.
  • @2TMarie
    My Grandma, outlived everyone, and ALWAYS managed her own money, till the end!
  • @rissa_x
    her grandsons learned this from her son. it’s sick to think that your own family would do this to you.
  • My Mom 's own brother did this to her, forged, bribed in government offices, and got her house to his name, rendering her literally homeless when she was 70. She fell sick, got bed ridden, died heart broken.
  • Those boys did not deserve her as a Grandma, and I don't know where her son gets off either. That is no reflection on her, what a class act. Kudos to her Granddaughter and caretaker.
  • @sncoolguy93
    The granddaughter is getting everything when grandma kicks the bucket. If I was the grandma I would leave the sons my “love and best wishes” in the will haha
  • @John-mf6ky
    Can we just take a moment to appreciate how sweet that caregiver is. This may have never even came to light when it did if she didn't notice anything.
  • @maibelle1002
    They're pretending like she's already dead, spending her money and selling her things like its all already theirs. Not even leaving enough behind for her simple expenses, like paying her caretaker? If I were her, Id write them right out of the will.
