Gene Hackman left an estimated millionaire inheritance at $ 526 million, which will be divided among his three children. The value was calculated based on its fortune, which, according to Bioscops, is approximately $ 90 million.
Hackman, who died at the age of 95 at his residence in Santa Fe, New Mexico, on February 26, was one of the biggest stars of his generation, with a career that includes over 80 films, including legendary titles like Operation France, Bonnie e Clyde e Superman – The Movie.
The sum of his fortune comes not only to his extensive film career, but also of real estate investments in New Mexico and California. According to Bioscops, the actor had an average annual gains of $ 6 million throughout his career, accumulating about $ 30 million in the last five years.
In addition to his artistic career, Hackman was known for his financial investments and discreet life, especially after marrying pianist Betsy Arakawa in 1991. The house where the actor and his wife were found dead is part of his legacy, and the inheritance will be divided among his children, the fruits of his marriage to Faye Maltese, his first wife.
Tragic end and mystery in the case of deaths
The actor and his wife, Betsy Arakawa, were found dead next to the couple’s dog. Police initially ruled out the possibility of crime, but the lack of clear explanations led to a reassessment of the case, which is now treated as a suspect. The actor’s daughter, Elizabeth Jean Hackman, suggested the hypothesis of carbon monoxide poisoning, but the investigation continues without an official conclusion.
The scene found by the police raised more questions: Betsy Arakawa was located in the bathroom, with an open remedy bottle and pills scattered on the floor. Gene Hackman was found in a room near the kitchen, with casual clothes and no apparent signs of violence. One of the couple’s dogs, a German shepherd, was found lifeless in the bathroom closet, next to Betsy. However, there were two other dogs, living and healthy. One of them was located next to the pianist, and the other was loose through the backyard.
