As reported by the WSJ, a newly uncovered will indicates that the late Zappos co-founder, Tony Hsieh, had made specific plans for his fortune, contrary to previous assumptions that he died without leaving instructions for his estimated $1.2 billion estate.

The document, which was signed in 2015 and recently filed in court, features a notable no-contest clause aimed at Hsieh’s family members: if any of them dispute his wishes, they will all be disinherited. Furthermore, the will allocates over $50 million and multiple Las Vegas properties to undisclosed trusts, intended to surprise the recipients.

Interestingly, Hsieh also bequeathed $3 million to his alma mater, Harvard University, which is currently embroiled in a dispute with the Trump administration. The administration has frozen billions of dollars in federal funding and is reportedly reviewing Harvard’s endowment.

The discovery of the will adds another unusual layer to the already complex and unconventional legal battle over Hsieh’s estate, following his death in a house fire in November 2020 at the age of 46. According to reports, Hsieh designed the will to create a “WOW factor” for his beneficiaries, aiming for them to “live in the wow.”
