The details of his will were released last Wednesday and reveal that Campbell excluded three of his children, Kelli, Travis, and Kane Campbell from inheriting any part of his estate. These three children are the result of Campbell’s second marriage that ended in 1976. Campbell’s estate is estimated to be worth in excess of $50 million. A court hearing to address a will contest is already set for January.
