Barbara Davis is a philanthropist and the widow of Marvin Davis. Although the Davis' wealth exceeded $5 billion during Marvin's life, it has recently been reported in multiple media outlets including Forbes that the majority of the family's wealth has been lessened to approximately 500 million dollars. After the death of her husband in 2004, Barbara sold their once opulent house for $46 million and moved into a bungalow at the Beverly Hills Hotel.
Barbara is the chair-person for the bi-annual Carousel of Hope Gala in Beverly Hills that raises money for children's diabetes.
