Thurston Howell IV

Bio
Thurston Howell IV is the son of Thurston Howell III and Eunice Wentworth Howell. Not much is known about his life as nothing is mentioned about him during the time his parents was on the island, but it is possible he was keeping Howell Industries going in his father's absence as his father's most logical heir, even through the bankruptcy hoax and the discovery of his father's impostor sometime later. In 1981, he is staying on the island in his father's absence as J.J. Pierson attempts to con the former castaways out of their rights on the island.

Trivia

 * Thurston Howell IV was played by TV actor and host David Ruprecht.
 * Assuming Thurston Howell IV is the same age as the actor who plays him, he would have been fourteen years old when his parents were shipwrecked. Although he might not have been running Howell Industries, he might have had a personal aide protecting his interests in the company.
