Read our privacy policy Elizabeth Hurley has criticised a court decision to “callously” cut her son Damian out of his grandfather’s trust. In March 2019, Steve’s father – billionaire Dr Peter Bing – went to court in an attempt to cut Damian and his half-sister Kira Kerkorian out of the grandchildren’s trust he had set up 40 years earlier. “He was happy beyond belief that the trial verdict ruled that Damian was to be treated like his sister’s children as far as the trust was concerned.” The 56-year-old continued to say that she is “relieved” that “Stephen will never know that Damian’s relatives – Stephen’s father and the family of his sister Mary – were ultimately successful in their appeal against the original trial verdict”. Why make two innocent kids into victims?” The trust, which has an approximate worth of £725m, is expected to be divided between the two children of Steve’s sister Mary Bing, both of whom were born in wedlock.
