Elizabeth Hurley may have amassed a substantial amount of earnings during her time in the spotlight, but it appears her son Damian might not be set to inherit it. The 60-year-old stars in the new Channel 4 series The Inheritance Rob Rinder, where she plays a wealthy benefactor. In this unique reality game show, she sets challenges from beyond the grave to determine which contestant will ultimately inherit her fortune. The actress revealed that she doesn’t expect to receive any inheritance from her loved ones, adding that she actually hopes they enjoy their money while they can.
“I have a set of tiny porcelain coffee cups which belonged to my favorite great aunt – I think of her with every espresso,” shared Elizabeth. “But I want everyone I love to check out on empty, having spent every penny on enjoying themselves. I’m not desperate to inherit anything.”
When pressed about what her son, Damian, will inherit from heer, she replied: “I mean what makes you think I believe in passing anything on? I might go out on empty, you never know.”
The new game show is hosted by Robert Rinder, who serves as the Executor of the Deceased’s estate and her trusted legal advisor. Elizabeth’s character has devised “a series of devilishly difficult assignments” and only one player can collect the inheritance from each request.
