Also known to have an amusingly
atheist view of
life, in 1990 he suffered a
heart attack after a
polo game and was dead for 7 minutes until revived.
When asked if he saw a light at the end of a tunnel he replied:
"Son, there's fucking nothing there"
(actual quote varies depending on source, I like this one the best)
At least this caused him to fund the installation of a
defibrillator in every
ambulance in
New South Wales.
