How Much Did Elizabeth Taylors Children Inherit? Celebrity
However, Taylor’s decision didn’t keep one of her beneficiaries from spilling the beans. Taylor’s seventh and final husband, Larry Fortensky —she was married eight times but twice to Richard Burton—was more than glad to talk about what he would be receiving from the late actress’s estate.
Updated January 29, 2020. Seventy-nine-year-old Elizabeth Taylor wanted to keep the details of her final wishes private when she died from congestive heart failure on March 23, 2011.
Taylor was there for her addiction to pills, and Fortensky was there for his chronic addiction to beer. The couple stayed married for five years, divorcing in 1996.
It wouldn’t have been a surprise if Fortensky’s interview with the Daily Mail had prompted Eliza beth Taylor’s other beneficiaries to loosen their lips, too. But the estate settled peacefully. All other terms of her revocable living trust have remained private, just as they were intended to. It’s rumored that the trust passed the majority of her assets to her children, grandchildren, and to various charities. It’s also believed, according to Bloomberg Business, that Elizabeth Taylor’s net worth at the time of her death was between $600 million and $1 billion.
