Matthew Perry shared out his fortune and split the money seven ways – with one recipient being his ex-girlfriend Rachel Dunn.

Legal documents which were obtained by DailyMail.com show that Perry created his will in 2009 and admitted that he wanted to leave “a majority of his belongings to a trust.”


He left more than $1million in a trust named Alvy Singer Living Trust – named after Woody Allen’s 1977 Annie Hall character.

Perry was worth an estimated $120million, with his personal property being valued at a “little over $1million” alone.

According to the filing, he held $1,030,000 in personal property “not limited to jewellery, furniture and furnishings, works of art and automobiles.”

The Chandler Bing star never had children and made the distinction in his will that any children he may have after 2009 were not “explicitly entitled” to his fortune.

Lisa Ferguson and Mike Myers’ ex-wife Robin Ruzan are listed as co-executors of the will, with the other trust beneficiaries being listed as his father John Perry, mother Suzanne Morrison, half-sister Caitlin Morrison and ex-girlfriend Rachel Dunn.

Perry and Dunn dated from 2003 to 2005 and raised eyebrows within their relationship due to their 14 year age gap – Perry being 35 and Dunn being 19.

They embarked on their relationship at a time where Perry was clean from his addiction to opioids and alcohol, crediting Dunn for bringing stability to his life.

He previously said: “With Rachel in my life, I know that I can be very committed and not some selfish guy who just wants to hang out with friends.

“I want to spend time with my girlfriend and explore what it means to have a much closer relationship than I’ve previously had time for.”

Dunn reportedly moved from New York to California to be closer to Perry, however, it didn’t take long for their relationship to break down.

The pair split amicably and at the time, a source told People magazine: “There was no drama involved, just a commitment by Matthew to stay focused on his sobriety.”

Despite the pair splitting in 2005, Perry signed his will on October 26, 2009, leaving Dunn on the document.

Perry starred as Chandler Bing from 1994 – 2004 and reportedly made $20million a year in residuals from the show.

His parents will likely take on his acting royalties as well as other parts of his estate which includes his 2022 memoir.

Perry died from “acute effects of ketamine” and drowning, his autopsy revealed, but the manner of his death was ruled as an accident.
