Former NFL star Michael Oher — and every other member of the Tuohy family — each received $100,000 from the profits of “The Blind Side,” lawyers for the family claim.

“Michael got every dime, every dime he had coming,” Fishman said.
“They don’t need his money. They’ve never needed his money. Mr. Tuohy sold his company for $220 million,” Farese added.
The Tuohys’ attorneys also contended that Oher was well aware he had never been adopted.
Fishman said the former football star mentioned that the couple were his conservators three times in “I Beat The Odds: From Homeless, To The Blind Side,” his 2011 memoir.
“There was one major event that happened right after I graduated high school: I became a legal member of the Tuohy family,” Oher wrote. “It felt kind of like a formality, as I’d been a part of the family for more than a year at that point.”
