Sean and Leigh Ann Touhy have filed a court-ordered financial accounting that reveals Michael Oher received $138,311.01 from the family since 2007, the Commercial Appeal reports. That figure represents approximately one-third of the net profit the Tuohys received off the success of the movie "The Blind Side." The Memphis couple set up a conservatorship for Oher when he lived with them in the early 2000s. Oher, the former Briarcrest Christian School and Ole Miss star and NFL offensive lineman, filed a petition in August to end the Tuohys’ conservatorship, which Shelby County Probate Court Judge Kathleen Gomes granted. In that filing, Oher also asked for the financial accounting, alleging the family enriched itself at his expense.
