Wife of Warwick Davis ‘leaves behind large sum in will’

Although Warwick is the most famous member of the family, it seems Samantha also had her own fortune – evidently, allowing her a large sum to leave behind to her loved ones.

Several publications claim that Warwick was the only trustee in Samantha’s will. According to documents seen by The Sun, Samantha’s estate was worth £536,830 when she died.

Reports claims that her final will was signed in 1998. Ultimately, this went unchanged for the remainder of her life.

Despite having a less famous acting career, Samantha was known for her roles in Through the Dragon’s Eye, ShortFellas and Honky Sausages. In addition, she also had an uncredited role alongside her husband in 1988 movie, Willow.

ED! has contacted Warwick Davis’ representatives for comment.

Meanwhile, according to Celebrity Net Worth, Warwick’s net worth is believed to be around $10m (£8m).

The star has a string of TV roles including hosting his hit ITV game show Tenable, which launched in 2016.

He famously played Professor Filius Flitwick and the goblin Griphook in the Harry Potter franchise.
