When Harry met Sall🤪y, he never dreamed she was such a savvy business🔯woman.
Nora Ephron, the famed screenwriter, playwright, novꦗelist and journalist who died in 2012, left an💃 estate worth more than $27 million — nearly double original estimates, new court filings reveal.
A final accounting of Ephron’s will, filed in Manhattan Surrogate’s Court last week, shows that when she wasn’t writing romantic comedy classics like the 1989 film “When Harry Met Sally,’’ she w🐠as playing the stock market.
And it wasn’t just for laughs.
Ep꧙hron — who focused on Internet darlings — wound up with $642,000 in Apple shares, more than $110,000 in Google and $89,0🌸00 in Amazon.
All told, she left behind some $10.2 million in stocks and other investments besid🗹es real estate, the documents show.
As for her property empire, it tota🐭led just over $12 million, according to the court documents.
At the time of her death at age 71 from acute myeloid leukemia, she and hubby Nicholas Pileggi owned a posh Beverly Hills bungalow, an East Hampton mansion and an East 79🍸th Street co-op.
Ephron, who got her start as a New York Post reporter, also had $4 million in personal property, including $240,000 worth of belongings inside her Manhattan apartment and🦹 $500,000 in cash, mortgages and loans.
Ephron’s will, filed last September, had pegged her asset🌌s at $15 million.
She left ꦯmost of the estate — $22 million — to Pileggi, an author and screenwriter, too, most famous for co-writing the screenplay to “Goodfellas” adapted from his Mafia tome, “Wiseguy.”
The court documents showed that the thrice-married Ephron wa𒅌nted to go out in style when she ordered her estate to spend more than ☂$100,000 for her funeral service at Lincoln Center.
C🅺elebrity-event planner David Monn alone netted $30,000 for his services.
The star-studded event included actors such as Tom Hanks, who starred in Ephron’s “Sleepless in Seattle,’’ and Meryl Streep, from he𓃲r movies “Heartburn’’ and “Julie & Julia.’’
Comic-turned-US Sen. Al Franken, Barbara Walters, Martin Scorsese and Vanity Fair’s Graydon Ca🧜rter also attended.
Ephron’s famous fans noshed on $20,000 in Mediterranean fare from Ar🍨peggio catering and sipped pink champagne.
According to the final version of her will, Ephron’s son Jacob, from her second marriage to Watergate journalist Carl Bernstein, was given a $460,000 So﷽🔜ho co-op on Thompson Street.
Jacob and her other son with Bernstein, Max, also were the beneficiaries, along with her husband, of millions of doll🌟ars in trust funds.
Ephron also left generous cash bequests totaling almost $1 million to her s♋isters, nieces, nephews and staff.
The estate will haꦓve to pay $1.7 million in taxes and $380,000 in debts, including more than $7,000 in credit card payments and $30,000 for repairs on her East Hampton summer home that were started before she died.
