How Much Was Robert Durst Worth When He Died?

Robert Durst was the eldest child of New York City real estate developer Seymour Durst — a man credited with transforming the development of the city's Manhattan borough (via Godine). His father ran the family's Durst Organization for decades before stepping down and choosing Durst's young brother Douglas as his successor. Apparently, Robert had displayed some inappropriate workplace behavior, which disqualified him from taking over in his father's eyes. The succession created a rift between the brothers, per Forbes. Still, Durst grew up with the same wealth, and in 2006, he sold his share of the company for $65 million. At that time, he had some suspicion hanging over him for the disappearance of his first wife and seemingly getting away with the murder of Morris Black in Texas. 

After finally being captured, tried, and put away for his crimes, the frail and sickly multimillionaire caught COVID-19 (per CNN), and has left a hefty legacy of funds behind. Despite dying in prison, his estimated worth is equal to the amount he got out of the Durst Organization, per Celebrity Net Worth.
