Dragons' Den star Hilary Devey has reportedly left no money to loved ones in her will, despite her estimated net worth of a whopping \u00a380million. <\/p>\n
The star died at the age of 65 in June 2022. She had been at her holiday home in Marrakesh, in Morroco.<\/p>\n
Hilary, who had been battling a long illness, left just material items, such as jewellery, to those she loved \u2013 including a friend, her son, publicist and lawyer. She made her millions after launching Pall-Ex, a palletised freight network.<\/p>\n

But no cash was left in her will, which was made in 2021 a year before her tragic death. Friend Audrey Mulligan was left her famous diamond cross.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
According to Daily Mail, her personal affects were left to her son Mevlit Brewster-Ahmet, her publicist and her laywer, who acted as trustees. It is reported that the three of them could then distribute her estate the way Hilary had detailed in a letter to them.<\/p>\n
The contents of those letters will reportedly not be made public, though. Hilary's Pall-Ex business has made millions, with it turning over gross profits of more than \u00a310m in 2021.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Her success saw her feature on The Secret Millionaire in 2008. On the show, she donated more than \u00a370,000 to Rochdale's Back Door Music Project and the Syke Community Centre.<\/p>\n
She went on to join Channel 5 as the presenter of four-part documentary The Business Inspector. Showing even more of her charitable side, she used the show to help struggling businesses and transform them into profitable companies.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Hilary joined Dragons' Den in 2011 but quit in June 2012 after landing a two-year contract with Channel 4. There, she hosted a new series called The Intern in which she gave young people a trial in the job of their dreams.<\/p>\n
It didn't do too well with ratings, though. Later she fronted Running The Shop.<\/p>\n
Then in 2015, she joined Loose Women as a guest panellist but only appeared for a few months. Aside from television, Hilary campaigned for a number of charities, like Carers Trust and the Stroke Association.<\/p>\n
