Caitlyn Jenner alleges the estate of her late manager, Sophia Hutchins, owes her nearly $500,000.
Jenner alleged in a March 27 creditor’s claim that Hutchins had $439,095.88 of unpaid expenses due to the former Olympian, according to court documents obtained by PEOPLE.
Hutchins died in an ATV crash in July 2025 near Jenner’s home in Malibu. Hutchins was 29.
Months after her death, on Nov. 19, Jenner’s attorneys filed the claim. Then on Dec. 4, the first issuance of letters was mailed. On March 30, Hutchins’ estate “allowed” the claim in the $439,095.88 amount. The document also notes that certain claims require court approval before payment.

The lump sum was made by Hutchins’ personal spending on Jenner’s credit cards. Hutchins was to reimburse Jenner, but had not before her unexpected death, according to TMZ.
PEOPLE reached out to Jenner’s rep for comment.
At the time of Hutchins’ tragic death, she crashed into the bumper of a moving vehicle carrying two passengers, and the ATV was forced over the shoulder and fell 350 feet down into a ravine.
Three days after her death, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Sergeant Eduardo Saucedo shared that Hutchins “may have been speeding and rear-ended the other car, the other party, and then that caused her to veer to the right and go off the cliff,” as he told Daily Mail.
