Elizabeth Taylor
Posted in: Uncategorized
During headlines Tuesday we did a story on Elizabeth Taylor’s fortune. Liz was believed to be worth at least 600 million. It turns out that the number is close to $1 Billion. Liz had some very successful business deals. She made $77 million off her White Diamonds perfume in 2010. She owned $150 million worth of Jewelry, which is going to be auctioned off to raise funds for her Aids Foundation. Liz’ real estate holdings were worth at least $130 million. Elizabeth’s estate will be split between her four children.
Nine said that it seems excessive to have such a large jewelry collection. I mentioned that it was valuable to Liz, like collecting sports memorabilia to guys. Giving the jewelry to her aids foundation is a kind gesture. Some of the jewels could have been gifts from her many husbands. She wore different things during the many Hollywood events.
When Aids hit Californian in the early 80’s, Elizabeth Taylor was not afraid. She stepped up to help save the lives of many gay men who were affected by this terrible disease. She refused to treat HIV/Aids sufferers like lepers. She became an international spokes person for the fight against the disease.
