![]() In the end, the fallout from this legal battle could make Larry famous for another reason-failed estate planning. In fact, Shawn has already announced that she plans to contest the handwritten will. That said, in light of his impending divorce, the existence of the new handwritten will, and the recent death of two of Larry’s children, it’s almost certain that there will be a major court fight between Larry’s seventh wife and his surviving children over the $2 million in assets listed in the new will. But since trusts are private and their contents generally aren’t made available to the public, we don’t know the full details of Larry’s estate plan. ![]() Given Larry’s immense wealth and the fact that his seventh wife claims they worked with estate planning lawyers in the past, it’s likely that he had other estate planning vehicles, such as trusts, in place to protect and pass on some of his assets. Second, in October 2019, Larry created a new handwritten will, which stipulated that $2 million of his estate should be equally divided among his five children upon his death, yet the document makes no mention of his seventh wife.Īnd finally, two of the five children-Andy, 65, and Chaia, 51, -named in Larry’s new will died within weeks of one another in August 2020, yet it seems Larry failed to amend his handwritten will to reflect their deaths. However, three factors are sure to make settling his estate especially troublesome.įirst, Larry was in the middle of negotiating a divorce settlement with his seventh wife, Shawn Southwick King, 61, when he passed away. With so much money, so many spouses, and so many children, it was practically guaranteed there would be some conflict over Larry’s estate following his death. Larry also had nine grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. He was the father of five children: Chaia King, Larry King Jr., Cannon Edward King, Chance Armstrong King, and Andy King. With so many marriages, Larry also had multiple children. Starting at age 19, the media mogul got married a total of eight times to seven different women (one of them, he married twice). In addition to Larry’s fame as a broadcaster, he also became equally well known for his numerous marriages. With his success in the media and the fact he continued working long after most people would have retired, Larry amassed a fortune estimated to be worth some $50 million. With a career spanning more than half a century, Larry became the most famous interviewer of his generation as the host of CNN’s Larry King Live, a follow-up to his nationwide call-in radio show, The Larry King Show, which started in 1978.Larry retired from CNN in 2010, but up until the very end, he still hosted the streaming video cast “Larry King Now” on Hulu and RT America. However, the famed broadcaster suffered from a number of other health conditions over the years, including multiple heart attacks, kidney failure, and diabetes, and he passed away from sepsis that was the result of an unrelated infection. Larry was hospitalized in December due to COVID-19, but he’d recently been moved from the ICU to a regular hospital room after recovering from the virus. Legendary TV and radio host, Larry King, died at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles on January 23rd, 2021 at age 87.
