Money won't buy you smarts, apparently

Rico says it's a classic story of hubris, and the BBC has it:

The millionaire owner of the UK Segway company has died after apparently riding one of his company's motorised scooters off a cliff and into a river.
Jimi Heselden, 62, crashed into the River Wharfe while riding the vehicle round his estate in Thorp Arch, Boston Spa, in West Yorkshire. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The Segway was found in the water.
Mr. Heselden, who founded Leeds-based company Hesco Bastion, acquired the Segway operation in 2010.
A spokeswoman for West Yorkshire Police confirmed Mr Heselden's identity, saying: "Police were called at 1140 yesterday to reports of a man in the River Wharfe, apparently having fallen from the cliffs above." She said a "Segway type" vehicle had been recovered.
Mr. Heselden had worked as a miner before losing his job in a wave of redundancies in the 1980s. His engineering business went from strength-to-strength and he was estimated to be worth £205m.

Rico says that's $324,000,000, which Mrs. Heselden will now undoubtedly enjoy...
