Tony Bennett’s Daughters Accuse Brother of Mismanaging Family Trust
Antonia and Johanna Bennett allege their brother Danny misused $2.6 million from their late father’s estate and failed to ensure transparency as trustee.
- Antonia and Johanna Bennett claim Danny Bennett mismanaged their late father’s finances and the Tony Bennett 1994 Family Trust, filing a lawsuit in June 2024.
- The sisters allege Danny paid himself $2.6 million in commissions through his company, RPM Productions, and made unauthorized advances and gifts to himself and his children.
- Court documents state Danny acted as sole trustee after Tony Bennett’s diminished capacity, leaving the trust without oversight before the singer’s death in 2023.
- The daughters argue that Danny failed to uphold their father’s wishes for equal treatment among all four of his children and demand a full accounting of trust activities.
- Danny Bennett has not publicly addressed the latest claims but previously sought to transfer the case to surrogate’s court or dismiss it, a motion his sisters oppose.
