In 2002, after Damian’s birth, Mr. Bing denied paternity, but a DNA test established that he was the father of Elizabeth Hurley’s son. Steve Bing was also the father of Kira, born to tennis player Lisa Bonder.

The Polar Express, which starred Tom Hanks in voice distribution, is among his most notable projects as he invested more than $ 80 million in the 2004 film, which then grossed more than $ 300 million worldwide. He also funded projects like Beowulf and Shine A Light, a Rolling Stones concert film directed by Martin Scorsese.

In addition to producing Hollywood films, Steve Bing was a leading real estate developer and philanthropist. He was the grandson of real estate mogul Leo S Bing, whom he inherited about $ 600 million at the age of 18, reported the AFP news agency.
