There are no future beneficiaries. There is a reversionary interest, probably to the Crown but I'm not certain.

The agnatic line was apparently extinguished in 1962, being the current head of the house Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands, king of the Netherlands, whose family´s estimated networth is 220 million dollars. The fortune here discussed is worth four billion dollars. This means that the tortoise enjoys a heritage 20 times higher than that of the heir of its original owner, so there are undoubtedly strong underlying interests. Otherwise I do not understand the story very well, or the functioning of the human mind.

Interesting. There's a definite story hook!

Of course, now we can preach in our curriculum that we are capable of getting an intriguing story out of a tortoise haha

Sadly this angle was not explored in the 1985 Forbes Magazine profile "The World's Only Non-human Billionaire".
