We will get to the inheritance part later….
Net worth at Death – $600 million
Tori & Randy (brother) – each got $800,000 (WHAT?!)
Whatever happened to her after 90210?
Tori played Donna Martin in 90210 (produced by her father).
She was on the show for the entire run (1990-1999).
She starred in many made for tv movies while also on 90210 (think Lifetime). My favorite was Co-Ed Call Girl… no that’s not a porno.
2004 – Marries Charlie Shanian (writer & actor), small tv roles (Charmed) I think that’s where they possibly met. They met in 2002, he was on Charmed in 2002, and Tori’s Dad was a producer of Charmed. She’s married to Charlie and in July 2005 she’s filming a movie with Dean McDermott, Mind over Murder. Dean is also married at the time of their meeting to Mary Jo Eustace. They were married for 13 years before they eventually divorced when Dean & Tori began having an affair.
Tori’s marriage to Charlie was VERY short-lived compared to Dean’s marriage to Mary Jo. Dean and Mary Jo also had 2 children together, Jack & Lola (who they were in the process of adopting when he started his affair with Tori).
May 2006 – Marries Dean McDermott
Also in June 2006 – her father passes away and Tori anticipates a very large inheritance.
($600 million estate)
Randy & Tori each get $800k while Candy Spelling (mom) gets the remaining $598 million inheritance.
Why?
Candy Spelling told the NY Times that Tori would squander his hard-earned cash.
2013 Memoir “It’s no mystery why I have money problems. I grew up rich beyond anyone’s wildest dreams. I never knew anything else. Even when I try to embrace a simpler lifestyle, I can’t seem to let go of my expensive tastes. Even when my tastes aren’t fancy, they’re still costly.”
