R. Spencer Frothingham is a fifth generation descendant of the New England born Frothinghams.

The family patriarch, Spencer Adams Frothingham, came to America from Great Britain in 1896. A shrewd businessman, S. Adams Frothingham made and invested millions of dollars by smuggling illegal booze and alcohol during the prohibition period. By the time that Prohibition ended, Frothingham had invested so much money that future generations would be set for life.

Upon graduation from high school, the only requirement for R. Spencer Frothingham to inherit his $50-60 million dollar fortune was to graduate from a four year business college. This proved to be an insurmountable task as soon as Spencer discovered the joys of beer bongs, casual sex, and the electric guitar. The inheritance is still his to be collected if he could just put down the guitar and pick up a text
book. Notice I didn't say anything
about giving up the beer bongs or
the casual sex – some things a man
needs to
survive.
