Federal Judge Won’t Add Interest to Smith’s Award
- Share via
A federal judge refused to add $30 million in interest to former Playboy Playmate Anna Nicole Smith’s $88-million award from her dead husband’s estate.
Smith’s attorney, Philip W. Boesch, asked for the additional money on April 15, telling the court it represents the interest Smith would have earned on the settlement she was awarded in March from oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall’s estate.
But U.S. District Court Judge David O. Carter ruled Thursday that Smith will have to get along with the $88 million.
The judge said it was meant to compensate her for the gifts promised her by Marshall.
