Jay Leno, the 74-year-old comedian and former \u201cThe Tonight Show\u201d host, is preparing to retire from the spotlight.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Known for his passion for cars, Leno is making end-of-life arrangements, including a significant donation to a car museum.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
After his television career, Leno created the web series \u201cJay Leno\u2019s Garage\u201d (2015-2022),<\/p>\n
gaining over 3.7 million YouTube subscribers by sharing his love for cars.<\/p>\n
However, in late 2022, he faced health challenges,<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
suffering severe burns from a garage fire and later a motorcycle accident, resulting in multiple injuries.<\/p>\n
Despite these setbacks, Leno remains devoted to his wife, Mavis, who is now battling dementia.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A Los Angeles judge granted Leno conservatorship over her inheritance due to her \u201cdeclining health and diminished mental capacity.\u201d<\/p>\n
Her neurologist notes she is gradually losing awareness,<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
but Leno continues to care for her with \u201cunwavering devotion.\u201d<\/p>\n
Leno is also preparing for his own passing, planning to leave his $52 million<\/p>\n
car collection to a museum through the JDM Foundation, his nonprofit.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Additionally, $7 million will go to his nephew and Mavis\u2019s brother.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
