Clinton Manges, oilman...

...and rancher, died at age 87:

Clinton Manges, who dropped out of grade school to pick cotton before rising to become a Texas legend by amassing a $1 billion fortune through land and oil deals, funneling millions to politicians, declaring bankruptcy and going to prison, died Thursday in a San Antonio nursing home.

And you thought your life had some ups and downs.
