		Howell is actually a billionaire and one of the world's richest men, inherited from his father.
		Howell displays little tact, blames the Skipper for the shipwreck, and is always trying to break the castaways' laws and bribe others.
		He is sneaky, untrustworthy, conniving, greedy and corrupt.

	The Monetary Economics of Thurston Howell III
		Howell find a gold mine on the island, which Howell convinces Gilligan to keep secret from the others.
		This is why the castaways value Thurston Howell's paper dollars: because whatever absurd amount he may have brought with him for "a three-hour tour," that amount is now fixed.
		The government paper in Howell's suitcases, on the other hand, is easy to transport, hard to counterfeit, lighter than gold, and whatever amount of it the millionaire managed to bring with him is the amount there's going to be for a while.

	Urban Legends Reference Pages: Willy Gilligan?
		In order to provide the viewing audience with some background information about the characters, therefore, a scene in which the castaways listen to a radio broadcast about themselves was inserted into the first episode.
		The broadcast informed us that the Skipper was an "old salt in these waters"; that Thurston Howell was "one of the world's wealthiest men" (and, contrary to the theme song, a billionaire rather than a mere millionaire); that Mrs.
		Howell was a "socially prominent international hostess"; that

	#10 Thurston Howell III - Forbes.com
		Education: Harvard University, B.A. Aggressive year-long investigation into Howell Industries by New York State attorney general greatly facilitated by emergence of surprise whistle-blower, known only as "Gilligan." The former high-ranking Howell exec is believed to be spilling the beans on everything from corporate tax evasion to the disappearance of dozens of supposedly "unsinkable" Howell watercraft.
		Howell himself still thought to be holed up on remote South Pacific isle with a diminishing cadre of loyalists; estranged wife Lovey remains fixture on Washington social circuit.
		Howell widely feared and renowned for ruthless tactics despite polished demeanor and self-deprecating manner.

		So would hard money -- "real money" -- be better for the island economy than the paper dollars Thurston Howell brought with him?
		He's free to decline such exchanges, of course, but the pampered millionaire can't live comfortably without help from those around him -- and their help is now very expensive.

	Beautiful Atrocities: from THE MONETARY ECONOMICS OF THURSTON HOWELL III
		"While it may seem that Gilligan's fellow castaways would reject Howell's dollars as worthless, the case of the Saddam dinar offers evidence in favor of 'worthless paper.' The law of supply and demand tells us that a rise in the supply of a thing will lower the price of that thing.
		Dollars are the most stable currency available on Gilligan's Island, and the government has nothing to do with it: if people are allowed to pick their own preferred money, they will pick whatever holds its value most reliably."
