ene Hackman's vast real estate empire, estimated to be worth $11 million, has been shrouded in mystery since his passing. The actor and his wife Betsy Arakawa owned three properties across New Mexico and Hawaii, each with a peculiar common thread - they were all listed solely under Betsy's name. This unusual arrangement raises questions about the couple's financial dynamics and the distribution of their wealth.

    The Santa Fe compound where Gene and Betsy tragically died is valued at nearly $4 million, while another property in Honolulu boasts a staggering worth of over $6 million. The mixed-use commercial real estate property features businesses and residential apartments, spanning two separate buildings. A smaller plot of land in New Mexico, estimated to be worth around $1 million, rounds out the couple's portfolio.

    Despite Gene's significant earnings as an actor, with an estimated net worth of $80 million, all properties were listed under Betsy's name. This has sparked curiosity about their financial partnership and the intentions behind this arrangement. Gene's children from his previous marriage to Faye Maltese are now left to navigate the complexities of their father's estate.

    Gene had relocated to Santa Fe with Betsy in the 1980s, seeking a more secluded life after fleeing Hollywood. Their elegant desert retreat, valued at $3.8 million, was a testament to Gene's love for seclusion and luxury. The couple's New Mexico home featured an impressive 8,761-square-foot residence, nestled amidst trees and lush greenery.

    The investigations into their deaths have left many questions unanswered, with authorities prohibiting the disclosure of autopsy reports and mobile phone records revealing Betsy made several calls to a medical center after she was initially believed to have passed away. Gene's family has released a statement expressing their sadness and devastation over his passing, but the circumstances surrounding their deaths remain shrouded in mystery.
