Who Inherited Lucille Ball's Money After Her Death?

After Lucille Ball's death, something had to be done about the estate she left behind. What ensued after she died could only be described as an all-out estate war. According to Reelz's "Lucille Ball: Death, Life & Money," the major disagreements about the estate were between her children, Lucie Arnaz and Desi Arnaz Jr., and her second husband Gary Morton. More specifically the beef was between Ball's children and Morton's wife Susie McAllister.

According to the Reelz special (via Meaww), after Morton died he left Ball's personal items to McAllister, who then sold them. After the auctions, Ball's children apparently have since been fighting to get things like jewelry, awards, and letters back from the sales. One of Ball's faux pearl necklaces even sold on "Pawn Stars" for just $325 after the buyer haggled down from $500, per Looper.

McAllister placed many of Ball's personal pieces up for sale in 2010, a decade after Morton's death, which was met with a restraining order, per Stylecaster. A judge placed the restraining order against McAllister on behalf of Lucie Arnaz, and in the end, negotiated a deal with the auction house. Ball's lifetime achievement awards were returned to Lucie, who plans on donating them to a museum.
