He wasn't 55million, but 55 years.

Johnny Hesketh, who has died aged 55, was an imaginative entrepreneur,
art collector, fine shot, epicure, aesthete and wit. Friendship was
another of his talents, and one which he exercised to the full from
his teenage years. When his mother told her eldest son, Lord Hesketh,
that a short, sharp, spell of prison might do his younger sibling (who
had been charged with reckless driving) some good, he replied in
horror: "You must be mad, just think of the friends he'd make!"
