A billionaire has been slapped with 19 lawsuits, arrested and kicked out of his New York City mansion during a battle with his daughter over his $1billion art collection.
Hubert Neumann, 92, was given the boot from his $6million Upper West Side townhouse following the bitter fallout with Belinda and her husband Jeffrey Donnelly.
Donnelly had claimed the aging art collector had displayed aggressive behavior when he tried to remove the couple from his home, where they had been staying.
Security footage showed him sitting and watching cops quietly remove the billionaire from his mansion during the arrest three days before Christmas in 2018.
Belinda, the second of his three daughters, and her husband Donnelly had launched a campaign against her father when he opposed her claim to 80 percent of her late mother's estate.
Neumann's wife Dolores signed a will before her death in 2016, leaving most of her estate to Belinda and disinheriting her husband.
Neumann claimed that the will was secretly changed before her death to give Belinda 80 percent of the estate, and the other two daughters, Melissa and Debra, the remaining 20 percent.
Neumann essentially fell out with Belinda when he asked her to share her mother's estate equally with her sisters. He then began eviction proceedings against the Donnellys in May 2018.
Neumann's legal team claim his daughter wanted to take possession of the collection, including a significant Andy Warhol artwork, with the intention of selling it. Neumann, on the other hand, insists on keeping the artwork as a family heirloom.
'I love Belinda and my two daughters equally, as I always have,' he told The Sun. 'I hope and pray we can put this family dispute behind us and restore peace and love within our family.'

People get funny when it comes to money...
Money isn’t funny.
Boy Howdy!
Belinda and Jeffrey Donnelly sound like a real lovable pair. Belinda sounds like a an ungrateful bewitch and Jeffy sounds like a gold digger of the male variety. What my late mother would call, Just plain “Sorry”.
I am sickened by men who don’t learn.
Looks like they stole the art from a middle school art class
Some interesting art his dad had made:

No good deed goes unpunished.
I was hoping for a picture of Jerry saying “Neumann!”
This is a sad state of affairs our billionaires are in.
Please explain to me, why does the property owner get thrown out of his own property while the two money grabbing relatives get to stay? Why do nobodies have more power than owners?
She only pulled this stunt because he wouldn’t leave 80% of his estate to her, too.
I’m glad I made out my will when I was young.
