In an industry where pretty much every A-list male fashion designer is either gay, a pedophile and/or a sexual predator, Oscar was probably the only one who never had any major scandal. He truly loved the Dominican Republic and gave millions to orphans and the less fortunate.
EVERY media story is spinning this story as if Moises is getting "snubbed" - but he's getting the exact same inheritance as the other three kids. Does Moises deserve MORE because he was there first? Or does he deserve LESS because he repeatedly shit on his dad's legacy?

Fashion designer Oscar de la Renta snubs adopted son from $26M will 'after high-profile falling out over son's clothes label'
Late fashion designer Oscar de la Renta has snubbed his adopted son - a designer at his label - in his $26 million will after the pair fell out 10 years ago.
Moises de la Renta was adopted by the couturier from an orphanage in the Dominican Republic following the death of his first wife Françoise de Langlade in 1983.
Moises, 30, has now been left a relatively small bequest from his late father's $26 million estate - and has been warned that if he ever tried to contest the will he would be cut out completely, court documents show.
The pair fell out after Moises attempted to launch his own women's fashion line in 2005.
His father, who is considered one of the most iconic designers of all time and dressed everyone from Jackey Kennedy Onassis to Amal Clooney, never forgave him for the move, Page Six reports.
De la Renta died on October 20 last year at his Connecticut home at the age of 82, following a battle with cancer.
In 1989, the designer married Annette Engelhard and became a stepfather to her three children, Beatrice Phelps, Eliza Bolen and Charles Reed.
His son-in-law Alex Bolen operates as Chief Executive Officer, and step-daughter Eliza Bolen serves as Vice President of Licensing, at Oscar de la Renta, LLC.
He left the majority of his estate to his wife and court papers show his will was signed several weeks before his death.
Annette de la Renta was bequeathed the majority of her husband's real estate portfolio, including a $13million Park Avenue apartment in New York, a $2.8million house in Kent, Connecticut and his estate in Dominica.
The rest of his will has been put in a trust to be split between his wife, her three children and Moises.
Mrs de la Renta - a New York philanthropist and socialite - is also put in control of the funds, which include a $3.3 million Citibank account and a $1.2 million tax refund.
Rather than Moises, de la Renta's stepdaughter Eliza Bolen was named as an alternate executor of the will, Page Six reports.
In 2005, The Post reported Moises was building his own fashion 'empire' which aimed 'to bring the de la Renta aura to a younger crowd' but the line, MDLR Black, never took off.
Oscar later publicly lashed out at his son and told New York magazine: 'Moises did a little line, five or six pieces. But that doesn't make a fashion designer.'
De la Renta first came to prominence designing clothes for Jackie Kennedy in the early 1960s, and he started his own fashion label a few years later.
He was a favorite among actresses including Sarah Jessica Parker, Amy Adams and Jennifer Lawrence, who all wore his creations on the red carpet.
De la Renta was also beloved by First Ladies and royalty alike; Nancy Reagan, Betty Ford and Laura Bush all wore his designs.
George W. and Laura Bush's daughter Jenna got married in an Oscar de la Renta dress in 2008, while Diana, Princess of Wales was a fan of his work too.
Up until his death, de la Renta was a personal friend of Hillary Clinton.
'I have a wonderful relationship with Hillary Clinton. I hope that she will be our next president. She is an extraordinary lady. I am so unbelievably proud to say she is my friend,' de la Renta said, according to The Daily Beast.
It wasn't until October last year, right before his death, that Michelle Obama donned an Oscar de la Renta dress.
She wore an embellished blue and black above-the-knee frock to a cocktail party for a White House Fashion Education Workshop she hosted on October 8. De la Renta died on October 20.
Also recently, Amal Alamuddin wore a de la Renta-designed wedding dress when she married George Clooney at a lavish wedding in Venice.
While the fashion industry and scandal seem to be synonymous, de la Renta enjoyed a career that was all-but controversy free.
De la Renta was also known for his philanthropy, particularly in the Dominican Republic, where he was born and had a home.
De la Renta was regarded as an unofficial ambassador of the Dominican Republic and held a diplomatic passport.
In 1982 he established La Casa del Nino for underprivileged children there.
