His businessman father is worth an estimated $853 million — but Damian Hurley’s grandfather is trying to stop him from getting a cent.
The biological grandfather of Elizabeth Hurley’s only son is waging a nasty legal battle to stop the teen from inheriting any of the family fortune.
The Austin Powers actress gave birth to her only child, Damian Charles Hurley, in 2002 after a brief fling with US businessman Steve Bing.
Mr Bing has an estimated net worth of $US600 million ($AU853 million), with the bulk of his fortune coming from his grandfather, New York real estate baron Leo S. Bing.
But despite that staggering wealth, the 16-year-old’s grandfather, Dr Peter Bing, is now trying to prevent Damian from getting his hands on the multimillion-dollar family trust.
Dr Bing has argued that Damian and his dad have never met, and that the teen isn’t eligible to become a Bing heir as he was “born out of wedlock”.
The legal battle began after another of Mr Bing’s illegitimate children — 20-year-old Kira Kerkorian Bing — allegedly claimed she was a beneficiary of the trust and demanded information on it.
In response, Dr Bing filed court papers in Los Angeles County which asked for a judge to deem Ms Kerkorian Bing ineligible.
That’s because the trust, which was established in 1980, “would not benefit any person bought out of wedlock unless that person had lived for a substantial period of time as a regular member of the household”, according to court documents, The Mirror reports.

How do these beautiful people find the time?
Just stopping by to say that I try not to be distracted by the problems of the rich and beautiful people.
But I do hope this young man gets into a really, really good college. Maybe something can be arranged.
1. This really seems unfair, and yes, I know this kid has “issues”.
2. Elizabeth Hurley is STILL extremely hot.
re: But I do hope this young man gets into a really, really good college.
Unfortunately, unlike Felicity Huffman, his father won’t pay to bribe Yale or Stanford to get him in. :)
One example of how lawyers can drive nicer cars than heart surgeons.
He probably will not need any of his money anyway.
I always thought she was pretty hot tho she has the worst laugh I have ever heard. Could only be described as a cackle.
She appeared in an episode of one of my favorite TV series,”Rumpole of the Bailey”.I don’t think she was much more than 20 and she was so gorgeous that,to this day,I weep when I see that episode.
I think a Trust can be set up with rules for its dispersement. If claimants surface with attempts to benefit from such a Trust with claims from outside the exact rule set that was outlined in the Trust a court should defend the Trust and throw out such claims.
Mom and dad are sluts. Get a job.
First mistake,
Naming the child Damian...
Mom must have plenty of money.
Grandfather fighting it, eh?
If I’m the kid’s lawyer I would drag this out with as many continuances and motions as I could. The old goat has got to kick the bucket sooner or later. Perhaps the kid’s dad will be a little less cold-blooded about things.
He looks like a lesbian.
Kid hires an attorney.
Gramps hires law firms - they’ll win the paper battle.
After all, it was his choice. < / sarcasm >
Really? She either has atrociously faulty judgement or she conducts herself in a way that means that faithful long term relationships are impossible....take your pick but neither are compatible with being 'hot'.
