Evel Knievel's ex-wives in bitter row

The two former wives of the late stunt devil Evel Knievel are getting ready to fight-it-out over the late star's estate.

The motorcycle ace, who earned a whopping $290m fortune during his career died on Friday with 'pitifully little left" in the bank after a lengthy battle with the American taxman, Britain's Daily Star newspaper reports.

However, sales of Evel Knievel branded toys, games and other memorabilia will continue to pull in millions.

A pal close to the late star, whose real name was Robert Craig Knievel, Jr, said: "The biggest question now is - who will get it all?"

Knievel, 69, divorced Linda Bork, his childhood sweetheart and mother of his four children 10 years ago in 1997, then divorced his second wife, Krystal Kennedy 2 years later.

However, he got back together with Krystal and they were living with each other when Knievel passed away.

A source close to Krystal said: "As far as she knows she is the main beneficiary but there is no doubt Linda and the children will contest it.

"His whole life was a mess - even at the end."
