Caitlyn Jenner has submitted a substantial creditor's claim against the estate of Sophia Hutchins, her former manager and close friend, alleging unpaid expenses totaling $439,095.88. The claim, filed in November 2025, was formally allowed by the estate in March 2026.
According to legal documents, the claim encompasses a range of financial obligations that accumulated before Hutchins' death in July 2025. The largest component involves credit card charges exceeding $273,000, reportedly linked to purchases from online retailers including Shopify, eBay, and 1stdibs.
The claim further details more than $133,000 in shared legal fees for attorneys retained jointly by Jenner and Hutchins. Additional amounts include nearly $16,000 in debit card charges and approximately $7,000 in cash advances that Hutchins allegedly obtained over time.
Jenner maintains that Hutchins possessed authorized access to her payment cards for professional purposes related to her managerial duties. However, the arrangement reportedly stipulated that any personal expenditures would require reimbursement. Jenner asserts that such reimbursements never materialized prior to Hutchins' death.
Hutchins died in July 2025 following a tragic all-terrain vehicle accident near Jenner's Malibu residence. The incident occurred when the vehicle struck a moving car, causing Hutchins to be thrown into a ravine.
The estate's allowance of the claim in the requested amount suggests acknowledgment of the debt's validity. Estate proceedings typically involve a thorough review of creditor claims before approval, with executors examining documentation and verifying the legitimacy of alleged obligations.
The relationship between Jenner and Hutchins spanned several years, during which Hutchins served in both professional and personal capacities. The financial arrangement that led to this claim appears to have involved significant trust and access to Jenner's financial accounts, underscoring the complexities that can arise when professional and personal relationships intersect.
With the estate's formal acceptance of the claim, the matter now moves toward resolution through the probate process. The substantial sum represents one of the larger creditor claims typically seen in estate proceedings, reflecting the extensive financial interactions between the two individuals during their professional relationship.
