Hayden Panettiere left behind about $6 million after her death: Who might inherit her estate?
American actress Hayden Panettiere’s net worth at the time of her death was estimated at approximately $6 million. She earned a significant portion of that money over the years through her work in advertising, television, and film.
According to RadarOnline, citing Celebrity Net Worth, the actress’s 11-year-old daughter, Kaia, is likely to be the primary heir to her estate. However, because she is a minor, Kaia will not be able to manage these substantial assets on her own.
In that case, her father—Ukrainian boxer Wladimir Klitschko—will most likely manage the estate on her behalf. He has sole custody of his daughter, so he may be entrusted with control over the funds and property that Kaia will inherit.
Panettiere began her career in show business as a child. Her mother took her to her first auditions when Hayden was only eight months old. She later landed roles in TV series and films.
The actress gained worldwide fame for her role as Claire Bennet in the series *Heroes*. She later played Juliet Barnes in *Nashville* and Kirby Reed in the *Scream* franchise.
