Larry King left $2M fortune to his kids

He probably got the amount wrong much like he did facts in his interviews.

He worked until the last year or so and did that fake talk show infomercial too. No way his estate is only 2 milion.

Well, considering that two of them died in the last year, there's considerably more to go around.

he was on CNN for 25 years.

Did he spend it all?

That was probably just his petty cash. Rich people like have have advisors who usually move that money into a trust to avoid taxes when passing it on to their spawn. Or as Repugs call it death tax.

Maybe the eight wives took it all.

Maybe he rented expensive apartments instead of owning property.

most of the wives came before his CNN years so they wouldn't be entitled to that money

I just checked “celebrities net worth”. It indicates 50 million. Where did the other 48 million go?

The article says it was a handwritten will. Maybe Larry was non compos mentis when he scratched it out on a paper towel.

Handwritten sounds like major fishyness

Only if he used nail polish or a crayola to write it out R11. Otherwise that is standard procedure for ancient talk show hosts.

The rest already went to the ex-wives.

$2 million is what he had in his checking account. The remaining $50 million is in trust, offshore, to avoid estate tax

R5 and R14 are correct. Thread Closed.

In 1990, King signed a then-record, five-year $8 million contract, the Los Angeles Times reported. In 1998, his pay had reached $7 million per year, according to The New York Times.

Tax evasion.

Sorry but that’s all he had left.

Yeah r16 I’m sick of these tax evaders getting away with it. Name and shame!

R9 and other idiots, those sites are all guess work.

maybe Britney's father took it.

This article is stupid then because it makes it sound like his full estate when its just liquid cash.

#freelarry

Two million dollars is hardly a fortune...lol. Its what he left his kids, not the total amount of the estate.

You don't need offshore accounts to avoid a lot in taxes you need trusts and GSTs for example. $11.58 million is tax free anyway.

Oh please. It’s hidden to avoid the rightfully owed taxes.

By the way, I realize inheriting 1 million is very middle middle class nowadays but it would change my future retirement significantly.

He's broke like Trump. Owes a fortune to hookers.

I’m just in shock thinking about having kids that far apart. Imagine a guy who’s 60-something having a half-brother who’s in kindergarten?

Sean Kings house is worth at lear 20M+ alone in the Beverly Hills flats.

That Celebrity networth site is completely made up bullshit r9.

She has the white trash spelling: Shawn.

Omg. I would hate to be a hooker. Imagine having to act sexy times with an old flaccid fart like Lare or Trump.. Ew!! I mean, that would be an oscar worthy performance!

Iss jush not true, honey!

I, Larry King, being of sound mind and body leave 2 million dollars to be divided among my children and 48 million dollars to my loyal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, who helped me write this will.

Buddy Hackett, at photo-left, was one of Larry's kids??

OT, but did Larry actually have his dead head cut off and cryogenically frozen? That would mean his head is somewhere not with his body or ashes. That's some totally fucked up shit!

I don't believe Larry was into cryonics. Unsure how Jewish he was spiritually, but this is against their beliefs. Also, who would do this? But it would explain having to set aside a large amount of cash for his sub-zero storage locker...

i meant to add him to the "celebrities you never liked " thread, but not because of his finances. I just never really liked him. I'm glad now i can watch Dodgers games on TV without him permanently plastered against home plate on the screeen!

"Don't worry, he's gonna die soon."

[quote] Maybe Larry was non compos mentis

I don’t understand. What difference would it make what brand of breath mints he used?

I can't believe he didn't leave anything to Shawn. How is she suppose to continue living the she has become accustomed to? She is also the mother of his two youngest children.

Shawn wants her money.

The legal situation surrounding Larry’s death was already complex. He had filed for divorce from his seventh wife, Shawn, in August 2019 — two months before the amended will was written — but he passed away before the split was settled in court. Also, the amended will names five of King’s children, Andy, Chiara, Larry Jr., and his kids with Shawn, Cannon and Chance — but Andy and Chiara both passed away in 2020.

Larry told Page Six before his death that he had become close friends with Shawn again after he filed for divorce, and Shawn tells us that they spoke daily. But she says Larry never told her about the amended will.

Asked why she believes he made it, she said, “It beats me!”

Shawn told us that Cannon and Chance, two of the three surviving heirs, were also unaware of the secret will, and were “shocked” to learn it exists.

She said that they support her legal battle against it. “They are not happy about this,” she told us.

Asked if she believes someone exerted influence on Larry to write the amendment, Shawn said, “Yes,” but wouldn’t elaborate.

She says she doesn’t believe that Larry wrote her out of the will because he was sore after filing the divorce papers. “Based on the timeline, it just doesn’t make sense,” she said.

The estate is a comparatively meager $2 million, especially if it’s to be split between his surviving heirs and, presumably, the survivors of his late son and daughter. When we asked why Shawn is going to war after being dropped from a will that would likely only have netted her around $300,000 anyway, she told us, “It’s the principle.”

All I've read confirms he was a disgusting, cheating, lying sociopathic human being without morals or restraint. Yet millions watched him like he was America's Dad (my mom and dad never missed him). Another scary case of how weak-minded people can be manipulated.

"OT, but did Larry actually have his dead head cut off and cryogenically frozen?"

Yes, he had rabies.

The end of the article states the $2million is not the extent of his estate, that much more if it is in trusts.

I can't believe this lizard was married SEVEN TIMES.

Shawn needs at least a million a year just to keep her trout lips filled.
