A former Penthouse Pet of the Month has a made claim in court for a portion of the fortune of late cardboard king Richard Pratt. Madison Ashton, a mother of two from Sydney's eastern suburbs, made a claim against the Pratt estate in the NSW Supreme Court last Monday, A Current Affair reported on Tuesday night.
Mr Pratt, chairman of Visy, was one of Australia's richest men.
The legal challenge comes just weeks after Pratt's former Sydney mistress, Shari-Lea Hitchcock, and the couple's daughter, Paula, went to court to contest the will in a bid to gain access to a larger slice of the Pratt empire.
According to Nine News, 12-year-old Paula inherited more than $20 million in shares from her father in his will.
Pratt's widow Jeanne is listed as the executor of his estate.
Both Ms Ashton, 35, and her lawyer refused to comment on the exact contents of the statement of claim.
Outside of her modelling career and the adult entertainment industry, Ms Ashton is listed on the Australian Security and Investment Commission register as the director of several consultancy companies.
According to a report on A Current Affair, she first became acquainted with Mr Pratt through his mistress Shari-Lea Hitchcock.
A Current Affair also alleges that Mr Pratt encouraged Ms Ashton to leave her job and promised that money would be paid to her.
