Yippie co-founder Abbie Hoffman made a fortune during his years in the spotlight but he left an estate worth only about $2,000, it was reported today.

Hoffman, 52, committed suicide April 12 at his Solebury Township home.

“It’s not that he didn’t take in a lot of money. It’s just that he didn’t keep it very long,” Hoffman’s attorney, Gerald Lefcourt, told the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Hoffman’s will, filed earlier this week in Bucks County, was written in 1983 and names his longtime companion, Johanna Lawrenson, as sole beneficiary. Hoffman had three children during two marriages.
