Dragons' Den star Hilary Devey 'leaves no money in her will'

Former Dragons' Den star Hilary Devey CBE is said to have left not a single penny in her will, despite having an estimated fortune of around £80 million.

The Bolton-born businesswoman and TV personality died aged 65 in June 2022 while at her holiday home in Marrakesh, Morocco. However, just over a year after her tragic death, the contents of her will have reportedly been released.

Devey had been battling a long illness, with many of her former co-stars sharing emotional tributes to her after her death.

The Daily Mail reports that in Devey's will, which she reportedly made in 2021, she left her famous diamond cross to her pal Audrey Mulligan and her personal effects to her son, publicist and lawyer, who acted as trustees.

It's claimed that the three could distribute the effects the way she had detailed in a letter to them, however, this will not be made public.
