Celebrity Lawsuits
Anna Nicole Smith vs. Her dead husband's family
In a battle that stretches back to 2002, former reality star and ex-Playboy Playmate Anna Nicole Smith sued to retain the fortune of her late husband, J. Howard Marshall, who was a young 89 years old when the two married. After she originally won the suit, the other side won the appeal, so naturally, the case headed to the Supreme Court. Last month, the highest court in the land ruled that Anna Nicole Smith could continue the fight to secure her dead husbands $1.6 billion fortune.
