Saying these guys actually died poor, I don’t think. In fact, they lived to their fullest, still owned homes, had some luxury and could virtually tour the world if they wanted to. That’s not poverty, that’s good living although, you can consider it living above their means but, they certainly where not poor and once they’ve passed, whatever they owed or owned wouldn’t bother them no more. They’ve left it for others to handle and that’s such a sad truth.
People who can still enjoy life with all their needs without any obstacles are clearly not categorized as poor because the public perceives them as wealthy, even though they may have hidden debts throughout their lives. However, if those debts cannot be repaid because of their death, it will place a burden on their heirs, who will have to repay them without any justification. So, it's fine to live a luxurious life, but try not to leave a burden on those around you, as that would be truly sad for those who are still alive.
It should be a personal responsibility, and now I see many debts covered by insurance, such as bank loans, which will be covered by insurance upon someone's death.
Regardless of whether someone is rich or poor, we all have different perspectives and feelings. Some people even choose not to have luxuries, while others insist on them, so they have chosen to live the life they want.
