Matthew Mellon, who served as the chairman of Republican Party’s finance committee in New York, was also known for his hard-partying ways. At one point, he told the Post in a 2016 interview that he was “spending $100,000 a month and taking about 80 OxyContin pills a day.”“Cryptocurrency is how Mellon turned his millions into a fortune valued at more than $1 billion, owing to a prudent early investment in Bitcoin recommended to him by the Winklevoss twins — Cameron and Tyler,” writes the Town & Country.For beginners, crypto currency is digital asset designed in a way that works as a medium of exchange that uses strong cryptography to secure financial transactions, controlling the creation of additional units, and verify the transfer of assets.According to Forbes last year, Mellon searched online for the most expensive rental house in Los Angeles and booked this home that had a futuristic look in the Hollywood Hills area for $150,000 a month. He had also hired additional security and began traveling in “an armored car that resembled a tank.”But Mellon just could not get over his addictions and his battles with it continued. He was supposed to check into a rehabilitation facility in Cancun on April 16, 2018 but died early that morning. Mellon also married twice — first to Tamara Mellon, co-founder of shoe company Jimmy Choo and then to designer Nicole Hanley Mellon until mid-2015.One source who claimed to be close to Mellon told the Post magazine that if the film happens it would fulfill a dream of Matthew. He often said: “How cool would it be to have a movie about my crazy life?”Mellon had bipolar disorder — and so did his father. Prior to his 2016 divorce, Mellon lived in New York City with his wife Nicole Hanley Mellon and their two children. He also had a daughter whom he raised with Tamara Mellon. Before marrying Nicole, Mellon was engaged to entrepreneur Noelle Reno, with whom he set up a cashmere knitwear line.In 2016, Mellon attended a treatment centre in Malibu, California, to deal with his addiction to the prescription opioid OxyContin, that was said to be costing him $100,000 a month. He was quoted as saying “OxyContin is nothing but legal heroin. And it needs to be addressed.”http://www.blouinartinfo.com Founder: Louise Blouin
