He is a wonderful, wonderful man.'' Her inclusion in the will came as a huge surprise to many people in his inner circle, as many said they had never heard of her before she was announced as a beneficiary to his fortune. Nonetheless, Kay was left stunned after finding out she was set to inherit a slice of his fortune and only discovered she was in his will on the day it was revealed.
