Lawyer Howard K. SternStern Is Now a Public Defender. Sources tell THR that Howard K. Stern, the lawyer turned quasi-husband of reality TV star and 'Playboy' Pinup Anna Nicole Smith, reported for work at the L.A. County Public Defenders Office.
Dannielynn Birkhead is the daughter of the late American Playboy model Anna Nicole Smith and freelance celebrity photographer Larry Birkhead. Dannielynn has a net worth of $3 million.
After years of court battles over J. Howard's inheritance (he estimated to be wroth $500 million to $1 billion), a judge has ruled that Dannielynn is entitled to as much as $49 million from J. Howard's estate.
Raised primarily by her mother, Smith dropped out of high school in order to start earning an income for herself and to take care of her young son, who was born in 1986. Beginning in the early '90s, Smith started earning some slight acclaim as a model, appearing in ad campaigns for brands like Guess.
Pierce Marshall sided with his father, Charles Koch and David Koch and received substantially all of Marshall's estate, valued at $1.6 billion at the time of his death.
As the Texas case proceeded, Anna Nicole filed for bankruptcy in California, alleging that Pierce had interfered with her potential inheritance. That court ruled in Anna Nicole's favor, awarding her a whopping $474 million.
