The world is still in mourning for her, but already an ugly war has broken out over Liz’s millions.
She’s been fondly farewelled around the world as the last true movie star of Hollywood’s Golden Age – an ever-glamorous film icon who campaigned tirelessly throughout her life for causes that touched her heart.
But now the incomparable Dame Elizabeth Taylor has gone forever, her legacy looks set to be sullied by a bitter battle for her $600 million-plus estate. An ugly war is believed to have erupted between the actress’s four children – Michael Wilding Jr, Christopher Wilding, Liza Todd and Maria Burton– and her manager and best friend Jason Winters.
Jason, 51, had considerable influence over Liz’s actions in her last, illness-fraught days, and was reportedly handpicked by the film star to be the administrator of her vast fortune.
“Jason was there for Elizabeth,” a family insider tells the National Enquirer. “She was mesmerised by him. But now there’s more than $600 million at stake… friends see Jason as an interloper who breezed into Liz’s life in her final years and will now be making decisions on who gets what.”
Her children will be taken care of with a reported $100 million each, while Elizabeth is said to have earmarked a large part of her empire to her beloved AIDS charities. But Jason will “get a chunk for himself and a fee for his role as administrator”.
