No, from what I say, he's an editor and part-wrtier.

I don't know; there are dozens of descendants now, but I don't know who all gets what percentage. Christropher is trustee but also has copyrights on the stuff he adds so he generates some income for himself. They also have a charitable trust which they fund. As for people getting paid for a "fortunate bloodline", well I don't know if you mean that as an anti-aristocrat or a socialist-democrat or what but even in the United States the right of heirs to their parents' property is part of the American Dream.
