- Richard Pratt's lover waiting for will
- Hopeful she will receive inheritance
- Was paid a monthly retainer
But Hitchcock, according to sources, is agitated and concerned she may receive nothing in Pratt's will when his personal fortune of some $2.3 billion is finally divided among family, charity and other allegiances.
Hitchcock remains confident that her daughter to Pratt, 11-year-old Paula, will be looked after in the will but is anxious about the prospects of a future windfall coming her way, The Daily Telegraph reports.
While sources say Pratt showered Hitchcock with gifts and money during their 18-year relationship, others maintain that Hitchcock is by no means a rich woman.
"Previously she has received maintenance for both herself and for Paula. She doesn't know if she will continue to be paid a monthly retainer by Pratt's estate," a source said.
"She has been a full-time mother since Paula was born - dabbling from time to time in other projects. There is the possibility that she may have to return to work (Heaven forbid this Occupation Ho to do this menial task) one day. Her financial security is completely up in the air."
Pratt, it should be noted, believed there were many benefits to work. He was passionate about his own business and instilled similar values in his three children by Jeanne Pratt.
"His last message to Shari might be, it's time to go back to work," one friend said this week. "We'll have to wait and see."
While the Watsons Bay property Hitchcock calls home is held in trust for her daughter, it is assumed there will be a provision for a nanny in the will as Paula has enjoyed a very close bond with a series of nannies over the years.
Paula was with her nanny when she learned her father had died at 7pm last Tuesday.

Nothing more nothing less, than a pure Occupational Ho.
The Ho's in it for the dough.
