Elizabeth Taylor Was Worth More Money Than You Imagined
Sure, dearly-departed screen legend Elizabeth Taylor was worth a lot of money, but did you know she made $77 million on her White Diamonds perfume just last year?
Who are these people still buying White Diamonds? But speaking of diamonds, Taylor reportedly owned $150 million in jewelry alone when she died, and all the gems will be auctioned off to raise money for the Elizabeth Taylor HIV/AIDS foundation and amfAR. In 1996, Taylor reported her net worth as $608.4 million in divorce papers from her last husband (now bankrupt construction worker Larry Fortensky). It's got to be way more than that now.
According to gossip Popeater's Rob Shuter, her estate will be divided up between her four children and her favorite charities, but there is already squabbling about who will get the money that she makes after her death. After all, who wouldn't want to be the heiress to the considerable White Diamonds fortune?
