Michael Clarke Duncan fortune: Vicious feuds haunted actor's estate after death
$8million (£6. 93million) at the time of his death, a fortune which sparked years of fighting between his nearest and dearest. Duncan showed an interest in the entertainment industry from a young age and his mother Jean, who had similar dreams when she was young, convinced him to move to Los Angeles to pursue a career in acting. Unfortunately, the Daredevil actor struggled to get work and had to return home when his mother became sick to help support her and his sister. For a while Duncan worked as a gas man, with an intense physical role as he dug the holes that gave mechanics access to the service pumps. Regardless of the setbacks the actor maintained his dreams of becoming a star and breaking the cycle of poverty, but was often made fun of by his co-workers as a result. When he returned to Hollywood, Duncan began a career as a bodyguard for the elites he would eventually star alongside. © GETTY Michael Clarke Duncan
