When Anna Nicole Smith died in 2007, her five-month-old daughter, Dannielynn Stern (later Birkhead), became her sole heir. The value of Smith’s estate was estimated to be about $2 million. At the time of her death, Smith was involved in a lengthy battle over the estate of her deceased husband, billionaire J. Howard Marshall II. Dannielynn stood to inherit millions if the case was resolved in her favor. However, a federal court ruling in 2014 effectively ended the legal battle, with Dannielynn receiving nothing from Marshall’s estate.
