Shit, I didn't know that about the trust.
In this case, I don't know whether he specifically gets more money per kid but that's really common. The one thing we do knew he had five of them, and then did nothing but incessantly bitch and complain about what a burden they were. Multiple times he was pulled over by cops, he was literally bitching to the cops about his kids! That's how much he hates them.
Do we know the details on the trust? Would it be something like, if you have children you get more money since children cost money and the trust is for them, too? Or something?
No, we haven't seen it. Trusts are usually private unless they end up in courts or get named in legal documents. Privacy is part of the reason for them. You can structure trusts any way you like. The basic one is per capita where each named child living at the time of the death of the testator gets an equal share. However, if one of them dies, their kids get nothing.
Family trusts are usually meant to preserve generational wealth, from the children, siblings, spouses, others, to grandchildren, or even more distant relatives for really large ones. Those usually use something called per stirpes, meaning each child
and their heirs gets an equal share, but if a child dies before the parent, their share goes to their children, the testator's grandchildren.
There are also so-called generation-skipping trusts, where one of the family members is a known fuckup. I'm pretty sure his family knows he's a fuckup at this point. There, you might base it entirely on the grandchildren and keep the fuckup in a spendthrift trust, which is a trust where the access to the money is strictly controlled to keep the fuckup from, well, fucking up.
It's pretty obvious from how Nick instantly turned into the stereotype of the trailer trash wigger who won the lottery the instant he got money entirely in his control. He'd never had real control over the money he was living on before.
So this is speculation but I think that while it's probably wrong here and there, his behavior is entirely consistent with the general gist of it.
I may be really bad on picking up on social cues though. Who knows?
@Balldo's Gate has done a lot more with the sparse information we actually do have, which is there actually is a family trust (probably more). One of his houses is owned by the "Robert Lord Family Trust," which may be something Nick set up himself to keep his name off his property and make it more difficult to dox. After all it's his middle name followed by "Lord." Sounds like the kind of dumbfuck shit he'd name it.
