				The Masterson family is a large and relatively unknown family, which is odd, considering they control some of the biggest companies in the world. The most well known being Masco. originally an investment company, Masco now holds interest in or outright controls many household names, from cars to computers, food or children's toys, Masco is everywhere. The most visible parts of the Masco brand are probably Masco bank, the third largest consumer bank in the US, and Masco airlines, recently formed after the merger of Airfrance-KLM, Delta, Northwest airlines and Korea air. <br><br>Masco's size is impressive enough, but what surprises people most is that it is a private company with no public stock. 75% of Masco stock is owned by various members of the Masterson family, while the remaining 25% is owned by a charity foundation called the Masterson trust. This charity, which is nearly completely funded by these stocks, fund projects around education, women's rights and the environment both in the US and around the globe.<br><br>The current chairman of the board of Masco, Daniel Masterson, is a rather reclusive man who lives with his family on their private estate in Southtern Oregon. Very little is known about him, other than that he is the youngest son of the last chairman Eric Masterson, and that he lives with his wife, five children and several grandchildren on an island which is nearly completely sealed off from the outside world. The board contains seven other people, all Mastersons. Daniel's great uncle Myron is one of these seven. He is also the managing named partner of Masterson, Masterson and Pierce, the law firm representing Masco and several other Masterson ventures. Another board member is former senator Robert Masterson, Daniel's oldest brother, who represented the state of Wyoming in Washington for twenty years until he retired last year, leaving the seat to his daughter Helen. <br><br>tbc

				The Masterson's estate: http://mansionhomes.co/dream/longview-on-lake-winnipesaukee/?viewall=true<br><br>The estate is situated in the middle of Goose lake on the border between Oregon and California. It consists of two main properties. The bigger house is where most of the adult members of the family live. It has nine bedrooms, 12 bathrooms, a large kitchen and dining facilities as well as a library, a private theatre and a games room. The smaller house has been built to act as a nursery and house for the younger members of the family. Though many members of the family visit the house regularly, none of the adults stay there overnight unless they are nursing. The house has a full time staff of seven nannies, 5 female and 2 male, who take care of the childrens' every need. <br><br>The estate also has two guest houses for visiting relatives, and members wanting some alone time, a tennis court, two outdoor swimming pools and a large patio where the family often has meals together. <br><br>The only entrance to the island is at the boat houses, where there are five wetslips with adjoining docks. There is also a helipad, but that is only used for Masco's private helicopters.<br><br>The Island home is accompanied by a small strip of land on the mainland on the Oregon side, a few miles north of goose lake state park and close to the I395. This small compound holds another boathouse as well as a parking structure for the family's cars, and a small bunkhouse with room for up to 50 people, which is in use by Masco's private security to protect the family. On normal days, some 20 guards are working there in varying shifts, patrolling the lake as well as the compound itself. The guards never set foot on the island, but have the ability to stop any unannounced visitor coming by land, over water or through the air.<br><br><br>
