A young man in Cornwall, England just experienced what may be the most significant change of fortune in history. The man went from struggling in his job as a care worker to learning he was the sole heir to a $60 million estate.

Cornwall Live reports that thirty-one-year-old care worker Jordan Adlard-Rogers had never known a lavish lifestyle. Life for him has been lived paycheck to paycheck, and there was often worries regarding the next set of bills. Jordan had reason to believe that Charles Rogers, a British aristocrat, was his father. However, without DNA proof or the admission of Rogers, he could not prove his suspicion.

Jordan learned one day Charles Rogers had died. He requested a DNA test and it was granted. He learned his suspicions were correct, Charles Rogers was indeed his father. Jordan could not believe his good fortune when the keys to his father's 1,500 acre Penrose estate was handed over to him. The Rogers Family Trust Fund also provides him with $1,300 each week. Jordan says it was difficult to get used to the reality that he no longer had to work for a living.

The estimated worth of Penrose Estate is $60 million. The Rogers family first purchased the estate in 1771. They have lived there ever since. Charles Rogers was the most recent lord of the estate. He died in August 2018 at the age of 62. There was no apparent heir at the time of his death. Charles succumbed to a drug overdose. He had struggled with his addictions since early adulthood. Many were surprised to learn he had an heir after the DNA test results were confirmed.

Jordan grew up in public housing. He knew since he was a small child that the possibility existed Charles was his father. He now lives in the estate with his girlfriend Katie and their two-year-old son. But before moving into the estate, Jordan did something he could never afford before. He took Katie on vacation to New York. Jordan says he thinks a lot on the struggles his father had with addiction. He also says he forgives his father for not acknowledging him before his death. Jordan says his father did agree to take a DNA test many years ago, but for some reason, it never happened.
