She doesn't get to hit the lotto just because he died before it all was finalized. He changed his will to leave his portion of the estate to 4 of his kids. I don't know why he disinherited 2 of his kids, I'm sure there is a story there, but I most certainly understand why he wrote Paulina out of his will.

It's crazy for her to talk about how betrayed she feels when she was the one who ran off and got herself a boyfriend because she didn't want to deal with an aging husband anymore. It is clear that their marriage was over.

Someone whose husband took all of the money she earned.

What does this mean? I saw the articles where she said she gave him all her modeling money, but for what? Does she just mean she got married and merged her money into a joint account? The phrase “gave him all her money” just strikes me as odd. Many couples merge their money post marriage but it’s not giving your spouse your money. She would have had access to the same funds over the last 30 years.

They had been separated for 2 years, hadn't they already worked the financial part of it out? I don't understand what this woman was living off of.

How was Ric able to take all of their marital assets, including her modeling money, and put it all in his name?

I am sort of curious what the surgery is since it's never been mentioned. It's weird to have elective surgery if you have heart disease and emphysema, so I assume it wasn't elective... but then it's a bit odd that it's all so hush hush.

maybe he had plastic surgery?

Maybe? It's also possible that the surgery was very minor, he was recovering well all by himself and that Paulina is overstating her role a bit.

It bothers me that she found him dead in the morning but that no one called (911? The medical examiner?) about his death until that afternoon. She says that she needed time with her sons to grieve. But it just struck me as odd.

I'm seeing on line their net worth (combined) is listed anywhee from 25 million to 80 million.

I think she's still incredibly wealthy. She just didn't inherit any of his personal assets. And that's a huge slap in the face and a betrayal, but she's not out on the streets.

Agree

Also, if she and the other disinherited children all filed with lawyers the reality is that there won't end up being much for anyone. Usually the lawyers win in these cases.

So because the marriage ended, those 35 years mean nothing? Sounds like a successful marriage that ran it's course.

Right. She gets whatever she would have gotten in the divorce and his half should be distributed according to his wishes. How is this even a question?

They need to stage the house and do a bit of decorating updates (that floral rug in the master bedroom? Ugh).

I think that she was under the impression that since Ric died before their divorce was finalized that she would get everything due to an odd stroke of luck of them still being married.

I think she's legitimately sad that Ric died but I also think that she's really been playing up the part of the grieving widow. And that just doesn't sit right with me. You don't get to leave your husband because he's "too old", find yourself a boyfriend, start divorce proceedings and then act like the grieving widow when your soon to be ex husband passes away unexpectedly. Shocked, saddened? Sure. But grief stricken like you've just lost the love of your life? No. You were ending your marriage to the guy lady.
