read about this little historical shocker:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magda_Goebbels scroll down to "Suicide"

The six innocent victims of this madness:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goebbels_children

Helga Suzanne, 12
Hildegard Traudel, 11
Helmut Christian, 9
Holdine Kathrin, 8
Hedwig Johanna, 6
Heidrun Elisabeth, 4

Ironically enough, Magda's only surviving child from a previous marriage, Harald Quandt, had five daughters who are among the wealthiest people in Germany.

From Wikipedia: Harald Quandt's five daughters inherited about 1.5 billion deutsche marks ($760 million) and would later increase their wealth through the Harald Quandt Holding GmbH, a Germany-based family investment company and trust named after their father. Today, they share a fortune worth at least $6 billion.[3](Source:Bloomberg Billionaires Index)
