Although Crystal allegedly signed a prenuptial agreement, it’s believed she was never added to Hefner’s US$40 million fortune.

Despite not being included in his will, Us Weekly reports that the 31-year-old model will be ‘looked after’. The source adds that his money will be divided between ‘his children, the University of Southern California film school and a variety of charities’.
