The question of who will inherit Elizabeth Hurley's estimated £50 million empire is the subject of a captivating new documentary airing tonight on Channel 5. 'Who Will Get Liz Hurley's Inheritance?' promises a deep dive into the life, loves, and lucrative assets of the British icon.
The film explores the complex web of potential beneficiaries, from her son, Damian Hurley, to other family members and the lasting impact of her tumultuous relationship with the late millionaire Steve Bing. It's a story of glamour, tragedy, and high-stakes legacy planning.
A Fortune Built on Fame
Hurley's wealth isn't just from her acting roles in films like 'Austin Powers'. The documentary highlights her savvy business ventures, most notably her long-running and highly profitable collaboration with Estée Lauder. This, combined with her film salaries and entrepreneurial spirit, built a formidable fortune.
The Key Players in an Inheritance Drama
At the centre of the mystery is her son, Damian, now a model and actor himself. The documentary examines his position as the most likely heir and how the inheritance could shape his future.
It also revisits the tragic story of Steve Bing, Damian's father, who leapt to his death in 2020. Despite initially denying paternity, Bing left a substantial portion of his own $600 million fortune to Damian, adding another layer to the young Hurley's potential wealth.
The programme doesn't shy away from other figures in Hurley's life, including her close-knit family and past partners, all of whom could play a role in the eventual distribution of her estate.
More Than Just Money
The film goes beyond the bank balance to showcase the physical assets that comprise Hurley's lavish lifestyle. Viewers are given a glimpse into her stunning £6 million country home in the English countryside, a testament to her success and personal taste.
