Howard K. Stern, the guy that everyone loves to hate has filed court papers seeking 6 percent of any funds recovered in the Anna Nicole Smith suit against the late oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall II.
Howard K. Stern filed his creditor’s claim Oct. 18 in Los Angeles Superior Court. In the court filing, Stern specifies that his 6 percent payment is contingent upon a successful outcome in the Marshall litigation. He makes no claim against the Anna Nicole Smith existing estate.
Smith, who died in February, was the widow of Marshall. She had been fighting his family for years over his estimated $500 million fortune. Smith’s 13-month-old daughter, Dannielynn, stands to inherit any portion of the money that might have gone to her mother.
Howard K. Stern, in a secondary filing, has asked the court to name the toddler sole beneficiary of Anna Nicole Smith’s estate.
