Texas - (Crude Mess): Little Dannielynn Birkhead is the rightful heir to a Beverly Hills school campus oil well, the US 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled yesterday.
The three year-old daughter of deceased ex-stripper and Playboy centerfold Anna Nicole Smith - whose father is photographer Larry Birkhead - is entitled to all the income from the crude gusher according to the judgement.
Appeal judges concurred with previously undisclosed evidence showing the oil tycoon's bosomy peroxide young widow had been given a lifetime interest in the crude gusher's output.
Deed of Gift documents drawn up by her billionaire magnate husband J Howard Marshall II just two months before his death made over some $5 million per annum from the Beverly Hills High School derrick to Anna Nicole.
"That's some $75 million in back-dated revenues," lawyers for the stripper's estate argued successfully in a lawsuit brought about by her sole surviving heir Dannielynn's attorneys.
Widowed former J Howard Marshall II daughter-in-law Elaine Marshall is hopping mad.
