Armand Hammer

Michael Hammer's father, Armie Hammer, has died of cancer at the age of 67. On Sunday, the businessman, who worked in investment banking before taking over Occidental Petroleum, died. A family representative confirmed the news on Tuesday, saying in a tweet, 'Michael Hammer has died after a long, arduous fight with cancer.' The millionaire oil mogul,' according to the spokesperson, is now at peace.' Michael is survived by his wife Misty and his younger son Viktor, 34, in addition to his 36-year-old son Armie. In addition, Dru Ann Mobley, Armie's and Viktor's mother's mother, Robert left an ex-wife behind. After 27 years of marriage, the two divorced in 2012. Michael inherited a $40 million dollar fortune from his late grandfather, industrialist Armand Hammer, who ruled the firm until his death in 1990, who was best known for his ties to Occidental. His actor son, who was once one of Hollywood's top performers but now a struggling addict at the heart of several scandals, travelled to Los Angeles from the Cayman Islands, where he was spotted selling timeshares at a resort in July. Armie was working the job because he'needs the money,' says a source at the time because his father's "won't help him anymore and he's been cut off." When a woman said the actor 'violently assaulted' her, Armie found himself at the center of a LAPD probe.

For the first time since his ex-wife Elizabeth Chambers went out on public with her new boyfriend Ricardas Kazinec, Armie Hammer has been seen. When walking errands in Los Angeles on Monday, the actor, 36, showed off his new chest and arm tattoos while running errands. Armie has maintained a low profile since reports of sexual assault and cannibalistic fetishism were made against him last year, which were recently covered in the new documentary miniseries House of Hammer.

Effie, 26, who hasn't revealed her name out of fear of reprisation and bullying, accused Hammer of being 'violently raped' her in 2021. Hammer has denied the allegations through his counsel, saying that all of his sexual encounters have been "fully consensual, deliberated and agreed upon in advance and mutually participatory." Elli Hakami and Julian Hobbs, according to her, are doing more harm than good.
