Carrie Fisher Estate
In July 2017, it was revealed that Billie was the sole heir to her mother's estate, which was estimated to be worth $18 – $25 million. Among Lourd's inheritance was Fisher's 2016 Tesla S, several LLCs, life insurance policies, and the movie star's intellectual property rights. The most valuable asset was a large property in one of the most desirable areas of Beverly Hills. Both Carrie and grandmother Debbie Reynolds lived at this property together for many years. Billie also inherited her mother's personal property, which presumably includes some extremely valuable pieces of Star Wars memorabilia.
