Robert Dean is 40 and has never had to work
very hard.
He says that his father didn't do very much
either - except a little traveling.
It was his grandfather who made a fortune
by investing in a gasoline company.
He lives a luxurious bachelor life and has
never dreamed of marrying.
He lives in a small house in a fashionable
part of central London.
Mr Dean usually gets up at about 9.30 and
reads "The Times" and "The Sporting Life"
(a horse racing newspaper), then he has a bath and gets
dressed.
After that he either has a long lunch at
his club or goes to the races.
Then he comes back home and has a rest before
going out to a dinner party or a film - "Nothing too
intellectual," he says.
In May he usually goes to the South of France,
but comes back for Ascot (a famous horse race) and Wimbledon.
In July he goes to the races and Open Golf
Championship, then after August 12th he shoots grouse every
day for a few weeks.
He likes to spend the winter travelling
in Asia or South America.
"I used to like South Africa,"
he says, "but it isn't so good now. I don't think most
men or women should have the vote. Women shouldn't have
responsible jobs - They should stay at home and look after
the children."
When I asked him if he thought that life
should have a purpose, he said "no," without hesitation.
