Caitlyn Jenner has filed a claim against the estate of her late friend and manager Sophia Hutchins, alleging that Hutchins owed her $439,095.88 prior to Hutchins' tragic death in July 2026 at the age of 29. Jenner's claim, which has been 'allowed' by Hutchins' estate, details expenses such as over $250,000 in furniture purchases on Jenner's credit cards, cash advances, and shared legal fees.
