When Hollywood star Christopher Reeve passed away in 2004, he had a net worth of $30 million, but his family soon found themselves in a legal battle over who got what. Reeve’s earned $4 million salary for starring in Superman franchise (adjusted inflation).
The biggest issue is Reeve’s $8 million home in Bedford, New York. He wanted his youngest son, Will, now 20, to live there until he was an adult. But his older kids, Matthew and Alexandra, think the house is too expensive to keep, costing $150,000 a year.
They want to sell it and use the money for other things, like their dad’s charity for spinal cord injuries. Will, however, says selling the house goes against what their dad wanted.
They’re also arguing about how to split royalties from Reeve’s movies, which are worth around $10 million. Will believes the money should be split equally, as their dad’s will says. Matthew and Alexandra disagree, saying they should get more because of their work managing their dad’s legacy and charity efforts.
