Shannen Doherty: who will now inherit her millions
Shannen Doherty once earned millions with her roles in the series "Beverly Hills, 90210" and "Charmed". But who will inherit her fortune after her death last weekend?
Shannen Doherty battled cancer for nine years and finally lost her fight at the weekend. One day before her death, the actress finalized her divorce from her ex Kurt Iswarienko after a long back and forth.
So who will inherit her fortune now? And what is actually left of the millions she earned over the course of her long career?
Breakthrough as Brenda Walsh
Doherty appeared in front of the camera at an early age: in 1982, she was discovered by none other than Michael Landon. He got the then just eleven-year-old Shannen in front of the camera for the TV hit "Our Little Farm".
Her breakthrough finally came in 1990: as Brenda Walsh, Doherty thrilled her fans in the cult series "Beverly Hills, 90210". The actress appeared in four seasons, earning around 20,000 dollars per episode according to the German newspaper "Bild" - a total of around 2.2 million dollars.
Numerous lucrative advertising contracts also flushed numerous dollars into Doherty's coffers. A modeling contract with the Elite agency also brought further orders.
Great success with "Charmed"
Four years after being kicked out of the popular teen series - there were repeated arguments on set - Doherty scored her next series coup. From 1998 to 2001, she appeared as the witch Prue Halliwell in "Charmed". Doherty received around 75,000 dollars per episode. The German newspaper has now calculated that this amounted to 4.9 million.
However, a major cinema career failed to materialize after the premature end of "Charmed". Instead, she returned as Brenda Walsh in 2008 - for a "Beverly Hills" spin-off. She is said to have been paid 40,000 dollars for her series comeback, which lasted 46 episodes. In total, the actress received a further 1.8 million dollars.
Fighting cancer
In recent years, however, Doherty's life has been dominated by her fight against cancer. She was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015 and announced in 2020 that the cancer had spread to her brain and bones.
In addition to health concerns, Doherty has also recently been plagued by marital problems. Husband Kurt Iswarienko is said to have had an affair with his agent. The actress filed for divorce and the ex-spouses fought over money until the very end.
A few weeks ago, Doherty's assets finally came to light. In the course of the war of the roses, the ex-"Charmed" actress made a declaration of income and expenditure in court.
According to this, Doherty had 251,000 dollars in the bank, as well as shares and bonds worth 1.8 million dollars. The value of her real estate is said to be around three million. The villa in Malibu, which she bought in 2003, was worth six million dollars, but was encumbered with mortgages amounting to three million dollars, according to the court document.
However, Doherty spent around 21,000 dollars a month on medical costs. There was hardly any income recently due to the illness. Her income was now her "residual income from a job I had before I got married", she argued in the divorce battle with her ex and demanded retroactive alimony payments, which Iswarienko refused to make.
Family inherits assets
"It's absolutely clear to me that Kurt is deliberately delaying the settlement in the hope that I won't survive the divorce proceedings," Doherty explained just a few weeks ago.
One day before her death, Doherty finally signed the divorce papers. The majority of her assets will now probably go to her family - her mother Rosa (76), who has been a rock at her side in recent years, as well as her brother Sean (56) and his six children. Doherty's three marriages were childless.
