Mystery will may reveal Zappos founder’s final wishes

According to the WSJ, a recently discovered will suggests late Zappos co-founder Tony Hsieh had concrete plans for his fortune despite previous beliefs that he died without leaving instructions for an estate that’s estimated to be worth $1.2 billion. Notably, Hsieh also earmarked $3 million for his alma mater Harvard University, the storied institution that’s currently battling with the Trump administration, which has frozen billions of dollars in federal funding and is reportedly trying to target its substantial endowment next. The will’s discovery adds another bizarre element to the already strange legal battle over Hsieh’s estate following his November 2020 death in a house fire at age 46.
