Ex-Wife of the Late Lorenzen Wright Spent $973k of a $1 Million Insurance Payout in 10 Months
By Tim Ryan
$32,000 for a Cadillac Escalade; $26,000 for a Lexus; $69,000 on an assortment of furniture; $11,750 for a trip to New York; $339,000 to buy and improve a new house; $7,100 for a deposit on a swimming pool; $5,000 for lawn equipment; $277 for dinner and a movie; $34,000 on lawyers. All within 10 months.
Throwing in the note about $277 for dinner and a movie seems like a rather unnecessary nugget to include, though also unnecessary is spending almost $70,000 on furniture and dropping nearly $12,000 on a “trip to New York.” By “trip,” it’s assumed they meant “month trapped inside The W.”
The excessive spending has predictably ignited a legal battle, one I imagine won’t be ending anytime soon, over control of what’s left in Wright’s estate.
As mentioned above, the murder of Lorenzen Wright remains unsolved. In 2010, his body, shot multiple times, was found in a wooded area in southeast Memphis five months after his divorce from Sherra Wright.
