CENTURY CITY, CALIFORNIA: Tori Spelling's mother, Candy, was slammed for not helping the actress or her five grandchildren while they faced severe financial difficulties. Social media users called Candy "spiteful" and "selfish," and they told her to feel "ashamed" of herself for not providing to their needs. The 'Beverly Hills, 90210' alum, 50, was seen earlier this week getting out of an RV with her children Liam, 16, Stella, 15, Hattie, 11, Finn, 10, and six-year-old Beau at a campground in Ventura County.
After Spelling and her five children were seen living in an RV, Candy, on the other hand, boasted about her opulent lifestyle on Instagram hours later. Many netizens condemned her for not stepping in to help her daughter, who was in need.
What is Candy Spelling's net worth?
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Candy, an heiress, author, socialite and entrepreneur, has a net worth of $600M, which she reportedly inherited when her producer husband, Aaron, died in 2006. Aaron and Candy were married from 1968 until his death in 2006. Aaron left Candy his entire estate upon his death, including multiple prestigious mansions and his significant syndication revenue streams.
Notably, Aaron did not leave much for his daughter Tori, who only received $800,000 of the estimated $600M fortune. Candy is well-known for her work as a producer in Broadway productions and has become involved in a number of charitable endeavors over the years. She has also written several novels over the years.
In 1988, Aaron and Candy began constructing Spelling Manor, a 123-room mansion in Holmby Hills, Los Angeles. The residence, which is 56,500sqft in size and supposedly the largest in Los Angeles County, features 14 bedrooms, 17 bathrooms and five kitchens. Candy put the house on the market for $150M after Aaron died. She sold the lavish property to British socialite Petra Ecclestone for $85M in 2010. The 'Selling Spelling Manor' documentary series on HGTV showed how Candy relocated to a smaller home.
Candy later spent $35M to purchase a luxury apartment nearby in the Century skyscraper after leaving Spelling Manor. The 18,000sqft penthouse, which sits on the 42nd floor, has a pool and a screening room. Also, Candy put her $23M Malibu property on the market in October 2019. She presently resides in a $47M penthouse apartment in Century City, California, as per the Daily Mail.
Why are Tori Spelling and her children living in an RV?
Spelling, who reportedly has had a strained relationship with Candy for years, and her family were forced to leave their home due to a mold infestation. They appeared to be living in a trailer when they were initially spotted staying in a $100 per night wayside motel earlier. In their father's will, Spelling and her brother, Randy, received just $800,000. It was recently reported that she had been "struggling monetarily."
'PLEASE help your grandchildren'
After images of Spelling and her children living in an RV surfaced, fans were not so pleased and slammed Candy. One user asked, "Roses? This is what you focus on?" "PLEASE help your grandchildren. It seems like they're lost," pleaded another user, adding, "If they can't go home because of TOXIC MOLD can you at least help them with that? As one mother to another Candy."
"Fancy letting your daughter and your five grand children live in an RV," another person said, adding, "You ought to be ashamed of yourself for not helping her emotionally and financially." "Why are you so SPITEFUL with your kids? When does your hate, jealousy, vengeance end?" another netizen penned. A fourth asked, "Shame on you. What kind of mother and grandmother are you?"
