FEUD EXPLODES OVER BOND STA R’S $102M!

Roger Moore’s widow loses control of fortune after son tells court she’s being fleeced

-

JAMES Bond legend Roger Moore’s family is locked in a bitter battle over the suave 007 star’s $102 million fortune! A pal says the actor, who died at 89 in 2017 after starring in seven Bond flicks between 1973 and 1985, “must be rolling over in his grave” over the emotional ringer his widow, Kristina Tholstrup, 77, is being put through by her son.

Kristina’s kid Hans Christian Knudsen, 53, is charging in court papers filed in Monaco that Roger’s fourth wife is being flimflamme­d and drained by her charming and handsome lawyer Per Troen, 63, who is also handling the Moore estate, which is still not settled.

Kristina, who’s called Kiki, fired back that her son, who says he’s a marine biologist, is a bum who’s never worked a day in his life and is fit to be tied because she’s cut off his allowance.

Still, the Monaco court put Kiki into a financial guardiansh­ip to safeguard her fortune, fearing she was being taken advantage of. Her son says police investigat­ed his claims — and found startling evidence.

The alarm bells

sounded after more than $2.8 million of her funds were reportedly transferre­d to a trust in New Zealand last year, more than $610,000 was gifted to a Danish couple who are friends of Kiki and significan­t legal fees were paid to Troen.

A source says her lawyer introduced Kiki to the couple, Carsten and Kate Hesselhoej, in 2017 — just a month after Moore died and about a year before the lavish cash gift was made.

Meanwhile, Kiki, who married into two fabulously wealthy families before tying the knot with Moore, is appealing the guardiansh­ip ruling.

She claimed the gift to the Hesselhoej­s was in gratitude for their earlier friendship with her late daughter Christina, who died of cancer at age 47 in 2016.

Kiki has stated in public she has “absolute trust” in her attorney and she knows “exactly what I am doing and where my money is.

“The whole nasty mess comes about only because I just stopped paying my son his allowance.”
