Lovechild 'son' entitled to half of toy tycoon's £14.5m fortune
Scottish Daily Express
|July 12, 2025
A SECRET lovechild has won the right to half of a toy-making tycoon's £14.5million fortune, after his half brother used DNA testing in a failed bid to disinherit him.
Stuart Marcus built a multi-million pound games empire after beginning by selling dolls' houses above a small east London toy shop in the 1960s.
Shortly before he died, he put £14.5million of company shares into trust for his children, with brothers Edward, 47, and Jonathan, 43, both benefiting.
But the family was thrown into turmoil after the revelation that Edward was not Stuart's son, but instead the product of a one-night stand while his dad was away on business between his mum, Patricia Marcus, and lawyer Sydney Glossop.
