To help you fend off the pirates, mobsters and even your neighbors, your brother joins your side, fully equipped with his Superman pajamas, wavy cape and all. Pump up your raft, grab a bazooka and defend your treasure
Now that you’re a rich baby, everyone wants a piece of the pie and they’re set to get it from you at any cost. One day at the beach, while playing in the sand you, Simon, find gold and diamonds that are worth just over ten million dollars.
