What Was Shannen Doherty's Financial Situation Before Her Death?

Shannen Doherty disclosed all her financial information shortly before her passing, thanks to her court battle with her estranged husband Kurt Iswarienko.

The 53-year-old, who battled cancer for almost a decade, spent her final days partly in a spousal support fight with her ex-husband and even accused him of waiting for her passing.

Shannen Doherty passed on Saturday, the 13th of July; she is survived by her brother, Sean Doherty, and her mother, Rosa Elizabeth Doherty.

The actress came clean to the court about the state of her finances as she slammed her ex-husband Kurt Iswarienko in hopes of getting temporary spousal support alongside their divorce.

According to court documents, Doherty made a monthly average of $21,000 but was set to plunge after removing "Charmed" from streaming platforms.

She also had $251,000 in a bank account, another $1,880,000 in stocks/bonds, and money from compensation paid to her by an insurance company over her California home damage.

The reality star also disclosed that she had real estate property worth $3 million- while it was initially worth $6 million, she owed $3 million on the mortgage. Another $134,000 also lay in her pension account.

Per In Touch, Doherty spent a total of $53,000 monthly, including a mortgage of $20,000, $3,600 for property taxes, $4,000 in maintenance and repair, $1,348 on takeout, $1,446 on laundry and cleaning, $1,600 on her wardrobe, and other expenses.

That's not all; the "90210" star was about $320,000 in debt, with $150,000 in an SBA loan and another $170,000 in legal expenses for her divorce lawyers.

While Doherty maintained a full disclosure of her finances, she accused her ex-husband of withholding important details about his income and art business while they were married.

In her words, during the later years of their failed marriage, Iswarienko earned about $672,916 and became a household name in the art industry, while she managed to pull a meager $ 259,708 annually in the last three years of their union.

She continued that her monthly expenses in 2024 totaled $54,600, and in 2023, her medical expenses gulped $21,640.

She added that "because I have not worked this year, I will no longer be eligible for SAG Health Insurance, and this number will dramatically increase."

The actress revealed that while she has been living from hand to mouth and incurring debts to help get necessary treatments for her cancer, her ex-husband has been spending a fortune on his vanities and claiming he does not have enough funds to support her.

Doherty's lawyer continued that the actress has been unable to work this and no prospects were in sight, which meant all her income was from residual income from jobs she did before the marriage, especially "Charmed."

The photographer addressed Doherty's claims about him dragging his feet as regards agreeing to pay spousal support during her battle with cancer, noting that she was yet to receive a response to her request for his income details.

Doherty requested $15,434 in monthly spousal support due to her reduced earning capacity and the termination of her SAG health insurance because she could no longer work.

The actress reached this conclusion after disclosing that Iswarienko has at least $ 56,076 of his monthly earnings, which could cater to her spousal support.

His lawyer refuted the actress's claim and disclosed that Iswarienko had tried striking a settlement deal last October, which Doherty turned down, claiming that the agreement "skirted around the issues of his original works created during the marriage and his earning capacity."

The Blast shared that the art dealer's team stated that he only wants the best for Shannen and wants "both of them to be able to put this case behind them and move forward."

The actress ticked a significant task off her bucket list since sharing the news that her cancer had spread to her bones and shared it with her fans on her podcast in January.

The Blast reported that there are many people who she does not want to attend for reasons best known to her and them. The actress who hosted the "Let's Be Clear with Shannen Doherty" podcast with her best friend and the executor of her will, Chris Cortazzo, added:

"But they will because it's the politically correct thing to do, and they don't want to look bad, so I kinda want to take the pressure off them. I want my funeral to be like a love fest. I don't want people to be crying or privately."

The reality star continued that she detests fake people and cannot stand people who turn a new life overnight pretending "that they found Jesus and they're so sorry and they repent and they didn't mean anything bad they said about you, blah blah blah. I can't stand that."

Since her diagnosis, the TV personality disclosed that she developed a deeper sense of purpose and a different outlook on life.

She expressed her desire to spend more time "living, loving, creating and hopefully changing things for the better" on her social media as part of being vocal about her struggles with cancer.

The former "Dancing with the Stars" contestant reflected on her journey through life and stated that her greatest memory was still in the works and that she often prays "for the things that matter to me without asking for too much."

Shannen Doherty certainly put up a brave fight against her terminal cancer, and may her soul rest in peace!
