The High-Stakes Inheritance Battle and Family Trust
One of the most dramatic chapters in Damian Hurley’s young life has been the complex and public legal fight over his paternal grandfather's fortune. This battle secured his financial future and highlighted the strained relationship with his late father's side of the family.The Multi-Million Dollar Inheritance Win
Damian Hurley successfully won a protracted legal battle to secure a share of his late paternal grandfather’s family trust. The trust was established by his grandfather, Dr. Peter Bing, in 1980, but he later sought to exclude Damian and his half-sister, Kira Bonder, from receiving any inheritance. Dr. Bing, a millionaire philanthropist, attempted to redefine the term "grandchild" in the trust to only include children who were raised by their father, effectively disinheriting Damian and Kira, whose father was Steve Bing. A court ruling ultimately sided with Damian and Kira, confirming that they were indeed beneficiaries of the trust. This ruling ensured that Damian stands to inherit a multi-million dollar fortune from his father's family. The victory brought a resolution to a years-long dispute that had been ongoing since before his father, Steve Bing, tragically passed away in 2020.The Relationship with Father, Steve Bing
Damian's father was the American businessman and film producer Steve Bing. While Steve Bing initially questioned paternity, a DNA test confirmed he was the father. Elizabeth Hurley has always been open about the tumultuous relationship, but she ensured Damian knew his father. Following Steve Bing’s death, Damian paid a heartfelt tribute to him, marking the end of a complicated family dynamic. The subsequent fight for the inheritance was seen by many as a fight for his rightful recognition within the Bing family.From Model to Director: Damian’s Creative Evolution
