While it is a bit unclear where all of Charlton Heston's financial assets ended up, we know where some of his assets went. The first of these is Charlton Heston's incredible home. Though he was a prolific actor and active in politics, Heston was also known for his interest in real estate. Following the completion of "Ben-Hur," Heston set out to build the home of his dreams in Beverly Hills, California (per Celebrity Net Worth). He enlisted the services of renowned architect William S. Beckett, who then constructed the home. It later became known as '"the house that Ben-Hur built." Once his home was complete, Heston lived at this residence for the rest of his life.
Following his death, Heston's home reportedly passed to his family (per Realtor). After his wife Lydia moved out of the residence, his family decided in 2015 to put the 10,000-square-foot mansion up for sale. It was eventually purchased for $12.2 million by French director Luc Besson. In addition to the family home, some of Heston's awards are now with his children (per the Chicago Tribune). His Academy Awards were reportedly kept on a table in his study during his lifetime. Following his death, Heston's son Fraser now has his father's Oscar for best actor that Heston won for "Ben-Hur." His daughter Holly now has Heston's Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award, which he received for his humanitarian work with various charitable causes.
