Please don't make fun ;o) Watching Tori and Dean for the 1st time ever - she's very pregnant and they're house hunting on this episode. They can't find anything within their price range - the houses they're being shown are crappy by Hollywood standards. My question is: she's a SPELLING for cripesake!, I generally don't follow the celeb news but didn't she inherit a qua-zillion dollars when her dad died? Yes, I'm aware of the issues with her mom but I thought Tori still inherited a ton of money from her dad's estate? I mean the man was a friggin billionaire, many times over ... shouldn't his daughter be able to find a house in Hollywood that doesn't look like your average Brady Bunch house? Could someone please enlighten me. TIA. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

nearly everything went to his DW. in most families, that's actually the normal way things go - from one spouse to the surviving spouse and the DCs have to wait until both of their parents have died to get anything [ Reply | More

OP: right but ... we're not talking about any family here - Tori grew up in one of the biggest Hollywood mansions EVER - they had a separate room just for "gift wrapping" for heaven's sake. Does Tori hate her mom so much that she wouldn't take a dime from her in order to maintain that type of lifestyle or is Tori just more down-to-earth than I realize, opting to live a simple life instead of asking for money?

np: Tori's dad was harsh with money and her. When she had her first job, he cut her off financially. She has been supporting herself since she was a teen. She grew up in a mansion but his money was HIS money not the families [ Reply | More

No. Her father changed his will and left nearly everything to his wife (people speculate that the wife coerced him into doing this once he was already gaga). [ Reply | More

OP: ok, but wouldn't her mom have done the right thing and given her kids some of the wealth? Or did Tori's brother get it all? [ Reply | More

No, her mom's a bitch. Her brother got the same deal, but (again, according to the tabloids) she gives him money. [ Reply | More
