Not wanting his children to grow up with too many privileges, Philip Seymour Hoffman reportedly left his fortune to longtime partner Mimi O’Donnell.
The Oscar winner died of an accidental overdose in February and according to court documents, left his $35 million dollar earnings with Mimi, who is also the mother of their children.
Hoffman’s accountant David Friedman made the revelation attorney James Cahill Jr. who was appointed by the court to represent the actor’s three kids: Cooper, Tallulah and Willa.

According to the filing, Hoffman felt his girlfriend would, “take care of the children,” and treated O’Donnell like a spouse even though he did not believe in marriage.
