I knew someone who worked for him and he did not notice any signs of mental illness. I'm not sure that failure to comply with white collar standards of "personal hygiene" is a very strong sign of mental illness. Inability to do so might be, but I have no evidence he was actually unable to care for himself. He seemed to be able to run very successful farming enterprises. In the farming community we ran into quite a few people who were unusual characters. Some were dysfunctional, others were not.

I can second that. I knew a maths professor who made a few millions on the share market. He spent half of every year in Sao Paolo, running around in old jeans and casual shirts. Nobody suspected him being wealthy and he felt safe (while the usual "rich person" lives in gated communities and does not open the window when driving) At the end you can sit on one chair only at the time. Can we sidetrack a bit further? ;-) Regards Peter
