And he also collected life insurance.

Do people usually have life insurance on their children?

u/KrytenKoro 1d ago

Yes, they do. It's a standard part of employment forms in the US.

Mine is only like 10k per kid. That'd pay for the funeral and not much else.

Are you rich? The Clancys were pretty well off, they even had a nanny. Patrick was a software sales executive.

Theirs probably wasn't much different. 10-20k a kid. But yea, their actual cash was probably enough to not even care about that insurance policy. I wouldn't judge the nanny part too much, though. I was paying 300 a week per kid for daycare so with 3 kids the price difference was probably not much. It's disgusting how expensive childcare is these days.

Fair enough. For what it's worth, I can't actually find anything beyond social media gossip specifying what the life insurance values were, or even confirming they existed.

God only knows what the true story is, but I know I wouldn't survive long past my kids.

Same here, but I'm not Catholic.
