What was Simon Monjack's Net Worth?

Simon Monjack was born Simon Mark Monjack on March 9, 1970, in Hillingdon, Greater London, England. He grew up in Bourne End, Buckinghamshire, with mother Linda (a hypnotherapist) and father William, and he studied at Juniper Hill School, Flackwell Heath, and Royal Grammar School, High Wycombe. When Simon was 15 years old, William passed away from a brain tumor.

In 2005, Monjack was charged with credit card fraud, but the charges were dropped. In 2006, he was sued for $470,000 by the mortgage firm Coutts and Co. after being evicted from four homes. In 2007, Simon was arrested for having an expired visa and was in jail for nine days, and later that year, his ex-wife took him to court to get the money he owed her from their divorce settlement.

In early 2010, Simon's mother told "People" magazine that Monjack was "unwell" and had suffered a "slight heart attack a week from Brittany's death coming back from Puerto Rico." Sharon Murphy, who continued to live in the home after her daughter's death, found Simon unconscious on May 23, 2010, and he was pronounced dead after paramedics arrived. Monjack's cause of death was ruled acute pneumonia and severe anemia, and he was buried next to his wife at Forest Lawn Memorial Park.

Simon Monjack was a British screenwriter, director, producer, and make-up artist who had a net worth of $500 thousand. Simon Monjack died in May 2010 at the age of 40. He died just five months after the death of his wife, actressBrittany Murphy. Both Simon and Brittany died of pneumonia and anemia.

Monjack wrote, directed, and produced the 2001 film "Two Days, Nine Lives," and he was credited as a writer and executive producer on 2006's "Factory Girl" though director George Hickenlooper stated that Simon was not involved in the film and had "filed a frivolous lawsuit against us…making bogus claims that we had stolen his script. He held us literally hostage and we were forced to settle with him as he held our production over a barrel." In 2007, it was announced that Monjack would be directing a film adaptation of the D. M. Thomas novel "The White Hotel" with Brittany Murphy in a starring role. In 2009, Simon worked as Brittany's hair stylist and makeup artist on the film "Abandoned," which was released in August 2010 after their deaths.

Simon was married to Simone Bienne from 2001 to 2006, then he married Brittany Murphy on April 12, 2007, at their Los Angeles home (which they shared with Brittany's mother) in a private Jewish ceremony. On December 20, 2009, Brittany collapsed in the bathroom at home and could not be revived. It was later ruled that she died of natural causes – pneumonia and iron-deficiency anemia – as well as drug intoxication from both prescription and over-the-counter drugs. The day after Murphy's death, a heartbroken Monjack stated, "My world was destroyed yesterday." Simon co-founded the Brittany Murphy Foundation, a charitable organization that focused on children's arts education and cancer research, with Brittany's mother, Sharon, after the star's tragic death.

Ultimately, Simon Monjack's financial journey is a testament to their success.
