WELLINGTON, FL (WFLX) - Attorneys are going after the multi-millionaire John Goodman. He's accused of driving drunk and killing a local 23-year-old man, but just how much money could the victim's family get?

The civil lawsuit just filed against the founder of the International Polo Club claims not only is John Goodman guilty of drunk driving, he's also guilty of running away from the accident to save his own skin while allowing the other driver to drown in a canal.

Could it belong to Anne Slater, famous for her cobalt-blue sunglasses and the Fifth Avenue apartment she'd recently sold to Matthew Bronfman for $17.7 million? She drove a lovely restored soft-top. Or was the owner Mark Bellissimo, the 1990 Harvard MBA now turning the property surrounding the Palm Beach International Equestrian Center west of the village into a redoubt of bridle paths and multimillion-dollar stables favored by the show
