Wow. Candy May Net $130 Mil That Tori Won't Get Posted Aug 31st 2006 8:25AM by TMZ Staff Filed under: Features, Let's Get This Party Started The stakes in the Candy Spelling Tori Spelling war just got a lot higher. The buzz in Beverly Hills real estate offices is that Candy Spelling has unloaded her 56,000 square-foot Holmby Hills mansion for a cool $130 million, and that the new buyer is an Arab prince. The cash flow influx would likely fan the flames in the ever-escalating feud. Several well-connected Beverly Hills realtors and a prominent socialite tell TMZ about the swirl of conversation on Wednesday. The inside word is that, as TMZ first reported and as Candy's reps denied, Aaron's widow gave an upscale real estate company a "pocket listing" on the mansion and that her asking price was $150 million. Now, the buzz is that Candy will quietly walk away with a boatload of cash, which will surely irk the soon-to-be cash-poor Tori. Candy Spelling's rep told TMZ, "It is not true, and she is not selling the house to whoever you have mentioned for the price you have mentioned." The "90210" star was all but disinherited by her father, as she recently discovered in papers Aaron Spelling signed four months before his death. Tori reportedly will get less than $1 million a pittance compared to his vast half-billion-dollar estate. Tori and Candy have been at war with each other for months, clawing it out in the tabloids and elsewhere. And last Sunday, the pair were both present at last Sunday's Emmys, but even the occasion of an emotional tribute to Aaron could not move the mother and daughter any closer to a détente.
I've never been a real fan of Tori, but I have a hard time believing that this is what her father wanted for her. I wouldn't be surprised if she (Tori) was a real prima donna, but she was the product of these two parents and they should take some responsibility. Everything I learn and read about Candy turns me off about her. She's already shacking up with some other guy.
I've never been a fan of Tori myself. In my opinion, she's had opportunities available to her throughout her life that most people can only dream about. If she's not taken advantage of them well enough to stand on her own two feet, I see no reason for her to expect an inheritance to bail her out. In the end, I highly doubt she's left high and dry. I have a great deal of respect for Warren Buffett, and one of his quotes seems appropriate for this scenario. He said "I'll leave my kids enough to do something with, but not enough to do nothing with."
Is this her step mom, or birth mom? Dola, I find it funny an Arab prince bought it. Speaking of the 76-Buffett, I see he got re-married yesterday to a 60-year-old.
I'm not really sure if that's her birth mother or step mother. I guess I haven't cared enough to check.
I have a hard time believing that he would've consciously left his daughter less than $1 million when he was worth so much. I'm not a fan, but she deserves a hell of a lot more than that. It's such a shame when family members argue over inheritance. The Anna Nicole vs. Jay Howard Marshall dispute was ridiculous, too.
If her dad wanted something different, he would have put it on paper. She should have no claim to his money. The wife should get it all!
Steve maybe you don't understand the facts....... Then again, I'm sure I don't know most of them either. But, you have to remember he had a stroke and lost a fair amount of functioning. It was after his stroke that his will was changed with Candy controlling who saw him, etc. If this will was 5-10 years old I'd tend to agree with you. But, a will changed after a stroke when you have no new children or grandchildren, is reason for concern. Further, it's been reported Candy was fooling around with this guy while Aaron was asking for her. I could have a lot wrong - but this is my understanding
I feel a little sorry for Tori but who really gives a crap? Like other people said, she's had lots of opportunities, and there are tons of people much worse off than her. She's lucky. That being said, the mom is a real whore. I read in a magazine just a month ago that she denied having any plans to sell the house, she said it would be disrespectful to her husband's memory, and now what? What a biotch
Or a Playboy Spread and Celebrity Video. Paris seems to have done very well after her home movie release.
Just curious, How much was Aaron worth before he died (and I'm assuming they will be worth 46% less due to death tax)?
Wouldn't his lawyer have to set in and recognize that? Were they married before they made it "big", with a pre-nup?
Nice to see another hard-working Arab prince, who are such innovative contributers to society, buying up more US real estate.
Deserved? Come again? She doesn't deserve anything - not because she's who she is, but children don't "deserve" anything of their parents estate when the parents die. Anything they get is purely a gift.
Do you mean, in your opinion, you don't think children "deserve" anything from their parents estate? I'm not going to tell you how your comment has come off to me........
And does the wife deserve it? Did she produce any of the shows he did? Did she come up with those ideas? If you want to give it to people who "deserve" and not to those who don't, then it should be buried with him, correct?
to deserve means that one is entitled to, earned, or should have. The kids should have whatever the parents will them. If the parents decide to spend their money on first class travel and Cadillacs, thats their business and the kids don't "deserve" to get that money. The chilren deserve only what the parents leave for them, nothing more, nothing less. I pity the children who'se upbringing went so wrong that they feel they are entitled to and deserving of all their parents have.
Aaron Spelling "deserves" to decide what happens with HIS money that HE earned. If he was coerced into changing his will, then that is illegal and there are legal remedies to that. If he cogently decided he did not want to leave more than $1mm to his daughter, how can anyone say she "deserved" more??? I don't care one bit what happens to my parents earnings when they die, so long as they aren't swindled. If they told me they plan to cash out and blow it enjoying their twilight years, I'd be 100% in favor of that. If they decided to leave it all to charity, more power to them. I wouldn't complain that I "deserved" some of that money. Deserved for what - for being their son? Maybe if Tori sweated many years in Aaron's care we could legitimately say its unfair if she got nothing, but the only one that deserves the money is Aaron, and whoever he gives his money to should respect his wishes - again - provided nothing illegal happened.
