Steve Bing’s Father Says Granddaughter Will Inherit NOTHING

Father20-year-old Kira Kerkorian Bing was raised believing she was the daughter of casino tycoon Kirk Kerkorian (who had been married to her mother, Lisa Bonder, for 28 days in 1999), even receiving $8.5 million from her alleged father’s estate in 2016. However, a DNA test that same year revealed that she was the daughter of film producer Steve Bing, who is the son of multi-millionaire Peter Bing. Now, the sorority girl from UCLA is claiming that she is a beneficiary of a trust set up for Peter Bing’s “future grandchildren.”

The trust, however, defines grandchildren that would benefit from the trust very specifically, according to the trustee in court documents filed in Los Angeles.. They cannot be adopted at a later age, and if born out of wedlock, they must either live with their parent or spend significant time with them as a child. Because Kira did neither, the older Bing says that she is not entitled to be named as a trust beneficiary. The trust is requesting the court to confirm that Kira is not a trust beneficiary as well as blocking her from obtaining trust related information. 

The same would apply to the 16-year-old son of Steve Bing and actress Elizabeth Hurley. Damian Hurley neither lived with his father nor has yet to meet him. He denied that the boy was his son until a DNA test confirmed that he was, indeed, the father.
