He used his fortune to create a fashion company that became a sensation. In his twenties he spent his energy creating designs and eventually grew tired of the work. He settled down in the middle of nowhere USA, to enjoy his fortune and get away from the fashion world. He purchased a large chunk of land, that later became part of Sanctuary.
