Jos\u00e9 held a prestigious job at RCA before landing a position at the independent film studio\u00a0Carolco Pictures. The studio was owned by International Video Entertainment (IVE).<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-4\">According to <em>The Los Angeles Times<\/em>, about $10 million of the Menendez estate had been spent by 1994. Large portions of the money were paid to Lyle and Erik\u2019s defense team, including attorney <a href=\"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/feature\/who-is-leslie-abramson-lawyer-menendez-brothers-murders-2802997\/\" data-analytics-trigger=\"article-body-link\"><strong>Leslie Abramson<\/strong><\/a>. The Menendez Beverly Hills estate reportedly sold in 1991 for $3.6 million, and their Calabasas, California, home was reportedly sold in 1994 for less than $2 million.<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-5\">As of today, it\u2019s unclear where the Menendez brothers\u2019 net worth stands.<\/p>\n<h2>What Happened to the Menendez Brothers\u2019 Inheritance?<\/h2>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-6\">Per California\u2019s<a href=\"https:\/\/definitions.uslegal.com\/s\/slayer-rule\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-analytics-trigger=\"article-body-link\"> \u201cSlayer Rule,\u201d<\/a> anyone who \u201cfeloniously and intentionally kills\u201d the person who killed the victim is \u201cnot entitled\u201d to inherit \u201cany property, interest, or benefit under a will of the decedent, or a trust created by or for the benefit of the decedent or in which the decedent has an interest, including any general or special power of appointment conferred by the will or trust on the killer and any nomination of the killer as executor, trustee, guardian, or conservator or custodian made by the will or trust.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Where Are Lyle and Erik Menendez Now?<\/h2>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-7\">Both brothers were sent to separate prisons and didn\u2019t reunite for more than 20 years. In 2018, Lyle was moved to the Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility in San Diego, California, where Erik was already housed. That year, the siblings were placed in the same housing unit at RJD.<\/p>\n<h2>Are the Menendez Brothers Getting Released from Prison?<\/h2>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-8\">In October 2024, Los Angeles District Attorney George Gasc\u00f3n announced in a press conference that a<a href=\"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/feature\/is-the-menendez-case-being-reopened-5325367\/\" data-analytics-trigger=\"article-body-link\"> new court hearing<\/a> had been set for Lyle and Erik for November 29, 2024.
