Heath Worth a Helluva Lot More Than $145K

There have been news reports that Heath Ledger left a grand total of $145,000 in his estate, and, as a result, his daughter might not be taken care of properly -- BOGUS!

True, we know the will lists $145,000 in assets. But here's the deal. The will was drafted in 2003. Since then, sources say, Heath accumulated lots of jack, from movies like "Lords of Dogtown," "The Brothers Grimm," "Brokeback Mountain," "Casanova," "Candy," "I'm Not There" and "The Dark Knight."

We're told Heath has considerably more assets than the $145k. On top of that, sources say he lived all over the world and was smart enough to know all of his money shouldn't sit in the U.S., where taxes are a bitch.

On the other hand, one of Heath's uncles has said the late actor's estate is valued at $60 mil. We're told that's absurd as well (on the high side), and the uncle doesn't know jack since he's been estranged from the family as well.

Bottom line -- Matilda will be fine, and there's a lot of $$$ on the line.

I think $60 million is probably way too high, but you're right, KESHIA, especially those with children should keep their wills updated. Also, isn't this the uncle who first claimed to be the family "spokesperson"?

I have read accounts that state that the Ledger Family are already bickering over Heaths estate, how horrible!!! They need to stop being so selfish and worry about this poor fatherless baby now!!!! But where a fortune in concerned people show their true self............... Matilda, my heart breaks for you.............

It is so very important to have a "Living Will" as well as a Will. Don't leave it to your loved ones to make decisions about you! Tell them while you are alive.

Is it in bad taste to make a pun about "Ledgers" and "Bookkeeping"? I would but I wonder if it may be offensive to people. Comments please.

All American Girl, did you READ the article? How is Michelle Williams a gold digger when she is the only one that hasn't been talking about his money?
