Money, family, and what we leave behind are topics that make most people pause, and actress Elizabeth Hurley is no exception.
At 60, the star has admitted that her son Damian might not have any inheritance to expect from her — because she’d rather everyone she loves enjoy life and spend it all while they can.
Why Hurley Isn’t Focused on Passing Down Wealth
Speaking about the subject, Elizabeth revealed that she doesn’t place much importance on inheriting or leaving behind money.
She explained that she treasures small sentimental items, like a set of tiny porcelain coffee cups from her great aunt, but said she would prefer if her loved ones “check out on empty,” having spent their money living fully.
“I’m not desperate to inherit anything,” she said, adding that she herself might go out the same way — with nothing left to pass on.
Damian’s Future and a Candid Reply
When asked directly about what Damian could inherit, Elizabeth responded with her usual wit: “What makes you think I believe in passing anything on? I might go out on empty, you never know.”
Her comments suggest that Damian, 22, who is carving his own career in film and fashion, may not be waiting on any big financial windfall from his famous mother.
Life Imitates Art in The Inheritance
The conversation around money comes as Elizabeth stars in Channel 4’s new reality show The Inheritance.
Playing the role of a glamorous benefactor, she puts 13 contestants through elaborate challenges to win her fictional fortune.
But there’s a catch — contestants will need brains, cunning, and a little ruthlessness if they hope to win big.
Only one person can claim each prize, meaning persuasion and strategy are just as important as skill.
A Trusted Face Beside Her
The show is overseen by Judge Robert Rinder, who plays The Deceased’s Executor, a sharp legal figure ensuring the rules are followed.
Elizabeth’s character is clear: only the most deserving, and perhaps the most devious, contestants will walk away with her “inheritance.”
A New Chapter in Her Love Life
Away from work, Elizabeth is happily dating country singer Billy Ray Cyrus.
Their romance has already won family approval — including from Damian, who openly embraced his mother’s partner.
Back in June, Damian even included Billy Ray in his heartfelt Father’s Day tribute, thanking not only his own father figures but also celebrating the country rock star as one of the impactful men in his life.
Damian and Billy Ray’s Bond
Damian and Billy Ray have already been spotted together, sharing warm smiles in photos.
In one snap, Damian sported a red suit with a black mesh shirt, while Billy Ray leaned into his signature look — hat, leather jacket, and sunglasses.
The friendship is particularly meaningful, given that Damian’s biological father, Steve Bing, tragically passed away in 2020.
