Kira Bonder

Kira Bonder/Bing is the child of Steve Bing and former tennis pro, Lisa Bonder. Kira who is now a young adult has kept out of the limelight for most of her life.

Kira was first though to be the biological child of her mother's second husband, Kirk Kerkorian. Her mom and Kerkorian had an unusually short marriage that came to and end after only 28 days. It may have had to do with the fact that Kira's mom, Lisa Bonder was 48-years younger than Kirk Kerkorian.

Kira made headlines after reports surfaced saying she claimed herself a beneficiary of her father's Trust, but her grandfather, Dr. Peter Bing said Kira, as well as Damian, had no right to the trust as they were born out of wedlock.

In his opinion, the trust 'would not benefit any person bought out of wedlock unless that person had lived for a substantial period of time as a regular member of the household'

'Regardless of whether, when and if Stephen met with or had any relationship with Damian or Kira while they are or were minor because neither was raised by him during their formative years l do not consider them my grandchildren.' Betting line over under.

'To the best of my knowledge, Stephen has never met Damian, and Stephen only met Kira after she became an adult.'

Eventually, the judge granted Kira and Damian their right to the family trust in July 2019.

h2 What Happened to Lisa Bonder?

Lisa Bonder is not only known as a former tennis player. Her love life has also made her appear on the headline section.
The blonde began raising eyebrows after she became romantically involved with 48-year-old senior, Kirk Kerkorian.
She is regarded as the woman who duped Kirk Kerkorian out of millions, after claiming her daughter was his.

In a 2018 book by William C. Rempel, he revealed details of Kirk's fake marriage to Lisa Bonder in ‘The Gambler.'
The book claims Lisa had gained the reputation for having a ‘big mouth' and she never gave up talking to Kerkorian's friends about using the billionaire to become the richest woman in the world, Rempel claims.

She confessed to Darrien Iacocca, wife of businessman Lee Iacocca, that ‘her dream was to be the ‘last Mrs. Kerkorian' so that one day ‘it would be all hers.'

Lisa met Kerkorian in 1991. He showered with attention and expensive gifts but the twice divorcee at the time, had no intention of getting married again. She was rejected by Kerkorian multiple times and when she allegedly had moved on, she became romantically involved with Steve Bing and became pregnant.
She pinned her pregnancy to Kerkorian and finally got him to marry her to legitimize their daughter Kira. He agreed to a 30-day contract marriage with a prearranged divorce and increase of child support to $50,000 per month, plus another $1.2 million for additional remodeling costs.

He kept the gifts and cash flowing along with a $250,000 sapphire ring for her 34th birthday. The gravy train finally ‘careened off its rails' when Lisa asked for a $25 million trust fund.

Kerkorian was finally determined to find out the paternity of this baby – and Bonder threatened to kill herself if he proved he wasn't the father.

At first, Mr. Kerkorian was sure Kira was his daughter, but he started to had doubts; therefore he hired a private investigator to find out whether or not Steve Bing, who he referred to as Lisa's Ex-boyfriend was Kira's dad.

The private investigator was Anthony Pellicano, he collected a used dental floss from Bing's trash can and wiretapped Lisa's phone calls.

The dental floss was taken to do DNA paternity testing that proved that Steve Bing was indeed Kira's dad.

To make this story short, Pellicano was subsequently charged with wiretapping and racketeering, and sentenced to 15 years behind bars.

Kirk Kerkorian Wife

Billionaire Kirk Kerkorian agreed Friday to pay more than $10 million in back child support plus $100,000 a month for a child his ex-wife has admitted is not his biological daughter.
Lisa Bonder Kerkorian, who was married briefly to the casino mogul after a long relationship, acknowledged during a child support battle that she had faked a DNA paternity test by using saliva she obtained from Kerkorian's adult daughter. She said the biological father actually was Hollywood movie producer Stephen Bing.
Michael Trope, the attorney for Bonder Kerkorian, filed the settlement Friday in Los Angeles Superior Court. He declined to comment. Kerkorian's lawyer, Joseph Mannis, did not immediately return a phone call from The Associated Press.
Kira Kerkorian is now 12, and court papers have said that she has known for quite some time that she has ``two papas.' Kerkorian, 93, has had joint custody of the girl, who lives with her mother.
The settlement, which provides $100,000 a month until Kira turns 19 or until she graduates from high school, no longer is a full-time student or no longer is living with her mother full-time. After that, the settlement says, the child support will be reduced to $50,000 a month.
The agreement also provides for Kerkorian to pay expenses including school costs, equestrian expense, clothing, housing, travel, hobbies, automobile, food, beauty treatments, tutoring, entertainment, parties and pets.
Bonder Kerkorian, 45, a former tennis pro, was married to Kerkorian for 28 days in 1999. They had been romantically linked for years. Kerkorian, once the majority shareholder of what is now MGM Resorts International, is the legal father of the child because the couple married.
The legal battle over child support between Kerkorian and his ex-wife has been going on since 2002. Bonder Kerkorian originally sought $320,000 a month in alimony and child support. The current agreement includes no alimony.
The contentious litigation between the couple became the centerpiece of one of Hollywood's more bizarre court cases when a private eye was harged with wiretapping Bonder Kerkorian's phones at the behest of Kerkorian's powerful entertainment lawyer, Terry Christensen. Both men were convicted of conspiring to listen in on her private phone conversations.
Kerkorian testified he never knew anything about the wiretapping. The private investigator, Anthony Pellicano, is in prison and Christensen is out on bail pending appeal.
Bing, who also fathered a son with Elizabeth Hurley, has repeatedly said he ``wanted to be involved with Kira and take some financial onsibility,' according to papers filed in the case in 2007. He agreed in 2003 to contribute $25,000 a month to her support, according to a letter from Kerkorian's attorney to Bing's lawyer.
The letter also alleged, however, that Bing ``has never done anything to become a father to this child, either emotionally or financially. Meanwhile, Mr. Kerkorian has never shirked from providing financial support for Kira, despite having been defrauded into believing Kira was his biological daughter.'
