What Happened To Victoria Diane Brown?

Victoria Diane Brown reportedly had a ‘disheveled existence’. The Hollywood Reporter says ‘her hands blackened from heroin use’. She would charter planes and splurge on $5,000-a-night suites at the Royal Palms apartment homes in Las Vegas. There was a time she went on a Disney cruise ship and spectacularly destroyed her suite.

Eisner, then-CEO of the company, had to call the trustees and make them pay for the damages. The family staged numerous interventions, to no avail. At the time Victoria hit the age of 35, the trustees signed off on her birthday distributions of $20 million. She died in 2002.

Victoria’s share of the family fortune was added to Brad’s and Michelle’s. (Per the terms of the trust, any non-disbursed money gets bequeathed to the children, siblings, or charity.) Sherry later would testify about Victoria’s sad tale to question the competence of the trustees.
