Elizabeth Taylor The last time her net worth was made public - in a 1994 divorce - it was calculated at more than $600 million. More than $150 million of that total was in the form of jewelry.
Speculation is that the majority of these funds will go to charity, and the AIDS research (amFAR) she founded in 1985.

Paul Magliocchetti A once-prominent Washington lobbyist was sentenced Friday to 27 months in prison for illegally funneling more than $380,000 in campaign contributions to House members controlling the Pentagon's budget.
A federal judge imposed the sentence on Paul Magliocchetti, who for two decades ran a top lobbying shop that worked with executives of Magliocchetti's defense contractor clients. The defense contractors hired the lobbyist for his influence with the late Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa., and other key congressional players who earmarked funds for favored companies.

Mark Deli Siljander A former congressman and U.S. ambassador to the United Nations pleaded guilty to charges of obstruction of justice and acting as an unregistered foreign agent, related to his work for an Islamic charity with alleged ties to al Qaeda, prosecutors said Wednesday.
Mark Deli Siljander, 59, of Great Falls, Va., pleaded guilty in federal court in Kansas City, Mo. He and another man, who also pleaded guilty, were scheduled to go on trial next week.
The former Republican represented Michigan in the House of Representatives from 1981 to 1987 and was appointed by President Reagan as a U.S. delegate to the U.N. for one year in 1987.
Mr. Siljander was indicted two years ago on charges related to his work for the Islamic American Relief Agency. He faces up to 15 years in federal prison without parole and a fine of up to $500,000.
