Welcome, everyone, to lifestyles of the rich and fishific.
Today we'll be swimming into the life of one of the greats of monster fish keepers, the "studd muffin".
As a child, he trained his goldfish to jump and squeek while wearing dolphin costumes, opening the first of many multibillion dollar "Studd's Fish World" theme parks.
Growing up with nearly unlimited fame and funds, Mr. Muffin developed an eccentric obsession. This obsession peaked during his high school years after watching a popular gangster movie, where "living with the fishes" sparked his imagination.
"Studd Muffin" used a sizable portion of his fortune to build the worlds largest glass mansion, five times bigger than the great Winsor Castle. After pumping the entire contents of a nearby reservoir, completely filling his home, the confusion over his choice of building materials was apparent. After pacing around his home, checking for leaks, he put on a wet suit and jumped into the chimney, the only opening to the outside world. For two years, Mr. Muffin could be seen arranging and rearranging the countless plastic plants, tiki statues, and treasure chests filled with gold dumped into the chimney along with his, twice daily, dehydrated and frozen meals which he ate directly from the water.
After 12 years of collecting countless fish in his vast mansaquarium, Mr. Muffin decided to emerged from his home after his third divorce of his submersed life. Upon exiting, he shattering all known records for time underwater, largest aquarium, largest neon tetra collection, and most pruned skin. Relieved of his duties as CEO of "Studd's Fish World", the popular chain was dissolved and sold to "Marine World" during his absence.
Was it the glamor of fame and riches or his love for fish that caused this eccentric behavior? Mr. Muffin decided to scale back his obsession by selling his glass mansion to the producers of "Big Brother 25 - Transparent Life" and donating, with much criticism, his vast collection of fish and fish bowls to help entertain the hungry children of Africa.
He is now making a slow but steady recovery, with rumors claiming that he now sleeps in dry suits in his meager 12000 gallon acrylic freshwater bungalow with his girlfriend "Salty Sarah", a marine biologist. "I think I'll try to balance my love of fish and women. I even built her a 50 gallon saltwater addition to the house!" he claimed in a People Magazine interview. "I Love My Girl Friend! then comes fish", he claims about his new found love. Perhaps an innuendo? We'll let you be the judge of that.
