Well he was alone and it was days after he died that neighbor called someone because of the smell but he sure as heck wasn't penniless.
What was Benny Hill worth when he died?
Benny Hill Estate Value And Inheritance: At the time of his death in 1992, Benny Hill's estate was worth $8.5 million, which is roughly the same as $15 million today after adjusting for inflation.
@GtHawk YIKES!
That's really surprising because most comedians are very outgoing. Not to mention why have all that money and live in a tiny walk-up apartment?
I am guessing he maybe developed mental problems as he aged.
