LARRY KING'S SAD LAST DAYS

Talk show titan’s bitter bid to keep widow out of his wallet

LARRY KING went to his grave raging over his divorce payoff to his estranged wife, Shawn, sources said, but she’ll get a huge chunk of his $50 million estate!

Shawn had negotiated to receive $33,000 a month in spousal support and a lump sum payment of $20,000, though their split wasn’t finalized before the 87-year old broadcasting legend passed due to COVID-related complications on Jan. 23.

“Larry was not happy he had to pay Shawn so much money,” spilled a source. “He didn’t come from money, so it was important to him. Money was a measure of success, so he felt it was his own.”

Added an insider: “Larry was a pr--k, a screamer, an a--hole.

“Shawn has been through hell and back, but she was no angel. She flirted big-time!”

As The National ENQUIRER reported, 61-year-old Shawn said she was blindsided when Larry served her divorce papers in June 2019 to end their 22-year marriage.

The two share sons Chance, 21, and Cannon, 20 — but their union had been a rollercoaster for years.
