Nymon lester

Quite possibly one of the most reclusive millionaires alive, Mr. Lester has been given the moniker of "ghost" and "phantom" by many. Born to Alfred Jhon Lester of Sussex England in 1955, Nymon was the youngest son of 5. First noted by John Fitz-Hughes, a tenant in the Brooklyn, NY loft who moved in after Nymon Lester, Fitz-Hughes found over $750,000 stashed in odd places (plastic bags in various toilets, under floor boards in the entryway, etc.) in the apartment in 1983.
Not much is known of Lester, however several connections and an "urban legend" like quality surround his name. As reported by LeMonde (Parisian newspaper - May, 1997), Lester is thought to have been born in Sussex, England. The Lester family were mostly tradesmen and mill workers. However, it is rumored that Nymon began working for the Irish Mob in the United States in the 1980s, with connections to both James Coonan and Mickey Featherstone. None of these allegations were ever proven and Lester was never arrested.
1986 is the last reported siting of Lester at the NY nightclub Area. Shortly afterward, it is suspected that Nymon Lester moved operations of several mob and gang-related activities to the west coast. Since that time, Nymon Lester has been loosely tied to films, wineries, auto dealerships, and restaurants by various media outlets, however none of have ever been established as factual.
In 2007, reference to Nymon Lester by Robert Duvall during an Actor's Studio filming was edited out. The actor spoke of seeing Lester with Jessica Tandy during the early 1990s and again eluded to potential crime ties.
Lester has continued to remain off the grid, even though blurred photos and suggested sightings have popped up from Argentina to Egypt to Paris.
