JOLIE'S DEAD MUM LEAVES CASH TO THREE OF HER GRANDCHILDREN


By Ian Markham-Smith - Posted on 25 August 2009

Screen sex siren Angelina Jolie's late mother helped to make three of her grandchildren independently wealthy in her will.
Actress Marcheline Bertrand left US$100,000 each to granddaughters Zahara and Shiloh and grandson Maddox, court papers filed in Los Angeles have revealed.
Bertrand died in January 2007 of ovarian cancer at the age of 56 - before her daughter went on to adopt grandson Pax in March that year and gave birth to twins – grandson Knox and granddaughter Vivienne – by her long-time boyfriend, actor Brad Pitt, in July 2008.
Angelina and her brother James Haven were co-executors of the estate.
They filed the final paperwork which revealed Marcheline also left US$25,000 to her sister and brother and nephews on Monday.
In the will, Marcheline wrote: "I give the residue of my estate in equal shares to my beloved son James Haven, and my beloved daughter, Angelina Jolie."
Her estate was worth approximately GBP405,000/465,000 euro US$661,000.
Angelina's estranged father is the Oscar winning actor Jon Voight, 70.
