Liz Hurley's ex-boyfriend, Steve Bing, excluded his children from his will. Bing died from suicide earlier this year.
The multimillionaire drafted a will in 2001 that excluded Damian Hurley, 18, and Kira Kerkorian, 21, according to legal documents that have now been obtained by The Sun. At the time, he did not know of Kira's birth but he was aware that Hurley was pregnant with Damian. In his will, Bing said he had no intention of leaving a single cent to his children.
Ironically, Bing inherited his wealth from his father.
"I have recently been informed by an individual that she is pregnant with my child, and I hereby declare that whether or not such child is mine, it is my intention not to provide in this Will for such child (or any other child as to which I may be the father) in this Will or for the offspring of any such child or children, whether now living or here after born," the document reads.
Bing, who obtained his own fortune from a $600 million inheritance from his grandfather, emphasized that he had "full knowledge" of what the omission would mean for his children.
"I have, except as otherwise specified in this Will, in full knowledge omitted to provide for my heirs, expressly including, but not limited to, any person now living or hereafter born who is, or claims to be, my spouse, my child or the issue of deceased child of mine," he stated in the document.
"My decision not to provide for any child living at the time of my death, expressly including, without limitation, [any] child as to whose birth [I] am unaware, is based upon many reasons, such that Section 21622 of the California Probate Code shall not be applied to any such child," the document continues. "My-Executor is hereby authorized to defend, at the expense of the trust estate, any contest..."
Bing died on Monday, June 22, 2020, after he jumped off the 27th floor of a luxury apartment building in Los Angeles. He was able to reconnect with Damian and Kira, who he shared with former pro tennis player Lisa Bonder, and last year fought for them to be included in their grandfather's trust, according to The Sun.
