Paul Walker’s daughter Meadow posted a tender photo of her and her late father on her Facebook page. She’s resigned to the fact that she will go back to living with her mother Rebecca Soteros after her mom completes rehab treatment for alcohol abuse. Meadow inherited her father’s entire 16 million dollar fortune so her life will never be the same for many reasons.
Paul Walker’s family was staggered by the worldwide attention his accidental death attracted. It reminded them of James Dean, who also died in a Porsche and went on to become a cult figure. (We never DID like Porsches.) The family decided to copyright Paul’s image and name for the purpose of merchandising, much like Dean’s. Paul’s younger brother Cody, 25, hoped to double for Paul in the next Fast & Furious movie but, he looks too young. So Cody is now in charge of Paul Walker merchandising and aims to start with an official T-shirt. He also plans to donate some of the profits to Paul’s disaster relief charity.

Justin Bieber finally did something right. He invited the late Paul Walker’s fifteen year old daughter Meadow to be his guest at the premier of his movie “Believe” in Los Angeles. Meadow arrived with Justin’s entourage, but she avoided the red carpet. Meadow was already a big fan of Justin’s – they had met backstage at another event and posed for this photo. It was a nice move on Justin’s part.
Cars and driving (in Fast and Furious) made Paul Walker a star and also took his life away this afternoon at the age of 40. The handsome model turned actor was killed when the Porsche he was riding in with a friend slammed into a post or tree and exploded in flames. Sadly, Paul had recently re-established his relationship with his fifteen year old daughter Meadow. Meadow grew up with her mother, Paul’s former girlfriend, in Hawaii, and moved to California to be closer to her dad. Paul had expressed his delight in growing closer to his daughter. (He’s pictured above modeling in Sao Paolo.)
