Tori rarely visited her father while he was ill and dying.. but brother got the same small sum inheritance..

Randy Spelling, 36, grew up alongside famous sister Tori in the home of their father, Hollywood producer Aaron Spelling. The home was called “Spelling Manor” and has a total of 123 rooms, including 27 separate bathrooms, a bowling alley and an ice rink.

Aaron Spelling died in 2006, leaving behind a fortune that has been reported to be worth around half a billion dollars. Yet his children, Tori and Randy, reportedly received less than a million dollars each.

During the media storm that happened after Aaron Spelling’s death, Tori claimed that her inheritance had been manipulated by her mother, Candy Spelling, due to the estrangement between mother and daughter. At that time, Randy claimed that their mother had done no wrong, saying that he and Tori received the same amount, and that the amount should not be a surprise.

“It’s not like my dad would give me one thing and Tori another,” Randy said, adding that the amount “was set up for years and years and years. So, nothing was changed. Nothing was changed in the will.”

Yet during an interview on the show Oprah: Where Are They Now? Randy Spelling seemed to have a slightly different story.

“I don’t know what really happened with my father’s will,” Randy said. “To a lot of people, [our inheritance] was probably out of balance, considering what he had. To my knowing, my sister and I got equal amounts.”

Compared to his childhood, growing up in what he describes as a “fantastical place” where stars like Burt Reynolds and Sophia Lauren would come by to hang out, Spelling’s life today is much different.

“My life is really different from how I grew up. It’s definitely more quiet and more simple,” he says. “I am a husband, I’m a father of two amazing girls. We do a lot of cooking. I mean, 90 percent of the food that we eat is all home-cooked.”

And although it certainly sounds as if Randy Spelling enjoys his more simple, family-oriented life, he does admit that being rich wouldn’t be so bad, either.

“Would it have been nice to have been left a whole lot of money? Yes,” he says. “[But] things happen the way they need to, and my life right now might look very different if I had $10 million sitting in the bank. So, I had to get my wings burned a little bit and fall to learn how to just live rather normally.”

Randy Spelling resides in Portland, Oregon, where he works as a life coach. He also says that he and famous sister Tori still make the effort to connect with one another.

“Tori and I have an interesting relationship. It’s one of love that isn’t always as close as I would like it to be. [But] she’s really busy. She has a lot of stuff going on, and she’s managing four children and a career and a husband,” Randy says. “So, we stay in touch how we can, what works for us.”

What do you think? Did Candy Spelling somehow manipulate her late husband’s will in order to disinherit her children?

Ex-hooker/madam Candy Spelling definitely manipulated that will. I hope that she leaves Aaron's fortune to their kids and grandkids when she finally kicks but I wouldn't put much past her where money is concerned.

Years ago, I used to see Tory around the neighborhood. I thought she looked much prettier in person. Then I saw her a little bit ago and thought she looked totally different. I get plastic surgery but it doesn't always look very good.

Why do celebrity kids feel that they are entitled to their parents' money?? At the time of his death (or at least right before), Tori was a working actress (and I use that term loosely). Parents do not owe their children money.

I've met her through mutual friends back around 1994. She was so much prettier in person and she was a total sweetheart. Truly.

I read about it by some lawyer who posted about it when Aaron died, and I hope Enty will talk about this.

The payout they got is just so that estate taxes wouldn't have to be paid yet. Basically, the money goes to Candy until she dies, then the kids get whatever Aaron specified in the will. They should have been told this. If Candy does try to disinherit Tori, I'm sure she could sue, saying it was not her father's intent. Her father told her specifically that she would be fine in his will, which she took to mean taken care of.

Years ago I read some securities filings that covered Aaron Spelling Production company. There were two details that I remember. The first was that Tori was getting $1-2 million a year from 90210. so if she is broke it is after making and spending $20-30 million from her career. Secondly AS only owned about 20% of his production company. Apparently he had sold most of it years before. I'm sure he got money from that sale, don't know how well he invested it, got reasonably well paid as the creative head of his company (I think it was circa $3M when Tori was making that 90210 money) but he had an expensive lifestyle plus taxes. So I've always thought of him as more like a doctor, high earnings but not necessarily huge wealth. I'm sure he was rich but I wouldn't be surprised if we were talking $100 million rather than half a billion. As for the Candy holding it for the kids, it is plausible but any good estate lawyer would also be transferring money today (i.e. family limited partnerships etc.) to avoid the whole estate being subject when Candy dies. Neither Randy or Tori has indicated any such transfers.
