Tori Spelling, daughter of TV producer Aaron Spelling, received an inheritance of $800,000 from his $500 million estate, not the substantial sum some might have expected. 

Her mother, Candy Spelling, was the executor of the estate and inherited the majority of the assets, including properties. This discrepancy in inheritance amounts led to some tension between Tori and her mother, especially given Tori’s subsequent financial struggles. 

Aaron Spelling, a prolific television producer, left behind a vast estate, estimated at $500 million to $600 million. 

Candy Spelling, Aaron’s widow, inherited the bulk of the estate, including properties. Tori and her brother Randy each received $800,000 from their father’s estate, a comparatively small portion of the total. 

Tori has publicly acknowledged having financial difficulties, even after receiving her inheritance. Tori and Candy Spelling have reportedly had a strained relationship, and the unequal inheritance further fueled this tension. Candy Spelling has been portrayed as both supportive and critical of Tori’s financial situation. 

It’s been suggested that Aaron Spelling may have limited Tori’s inheritance due to her spending habits and possible desire to encourage reconciliation with her mother.
