Celebrities Who Cut Their Children Out of Their Inheritance

Hollywood Reporter

Joan Crawford is probably the most famous case of celebrities not leaving their children any inheritance. Crawford rose to fame in Hollywood of the 1930s due to her incredible acting skills and sultry demeanor. However, off the set, Crawford wasn’t exactly the mother of the year. In fact, some of her most outrageous behaviors were chronicled by her adopted daughter Christina in her memoir Mommie Dearest. The book was published just a year after Crawford’s death in 1977 and included truly horrifying tales of neglect and negativity.

Even though Crawford left $77,500 to each of her younger children, she decided to cut Christina and son Christopher out of her will entirely. “It is my intention to make no provision herein for my son Christopher or my daughter Christina for reasons which are well known to them,” she stated in her will.
