Kirk Douglas snubs Michael in will
Kirk Douglas was laid to rest on February 7 at the Westwood Memorial in Los Angeles, two days after he passed at his home. He was 103.
According to The Mirror, Kirk did not leave any of his fortune to his son, Michael, a Hollywood star who has his own net worth of about $300 million.
But Kirk, who throughout his lifetime was known to work with multiple charity organisations, left money to several beneficiaries.
A total of $50 million will be distributed through the Douglas Foundation, which was founded by Kirk and his wife, Anne.
The Mirror reported that some of the beneficiaries include St Lawrence University, the Sinai Temple of Los Angeles, the Kirk Douglas Theatre and the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles.
Before he died, Kirk and Anne were planning to make some more generous donations.
Kirk is survived by Anne, who is his second wife, and three of his four sons: Michael, Joel, and Peter.
