hundreds of millions of dollars and california was like yeah that's totally fine we'll give that to you but then texas was like no no no it ends up going to the supreme court jesus christ oh my god it's who has the time test after 15 years multiple court battles and even a supreme court shutdown the final ruling came after her death that she wasn't entitled to a single dollar
