Elise came down with cancer, and it broke Steve's heart. And he took such good care of her. He put her lipstick on in the morning. After Elise died, Steve began frequenting the club most evenings.

In early 1999, Steve was at wit's end with Celeste. She was going through money like crazy. He gave her the $500,000 that she was entitled to in the prenup, wanted to show her how to build a fortune for herself, and she had spent all of it and couldn't tell him where it had gone.

Steve had a lot of money, but it was protected. It was in a trust.
