Almost half of Tina Turner's estimated $250 million fortune will go to her husband.
The 'What's Love Got to Do With It' singer wed music producer Erwin Bach, 67, a decade ago following a 27-year affair. In 2017, he gave a kidney to save her life, and he also helped her through her other health problems, including a stroke she suffered shortly before their wedding in 2013.
Afida, 46, Tina's singer daughter-in-law and the widow of her late son Ronnie, told the Sunday Mirror, "As she married in Switzerland, I think around 47 per cent will go to the spouse and the rest to the children."
After meeting in 2007, Ronnie and Afida Turner wed in 2011. He was 62 when he died in 2022 of colon cancer-related complications.
Tina adopted two of Ike Turner's boys, along with a son named Craig from a prior relationship with singer Raymond Hill, when she was just 18 years old.
Tina's "saddest moment as a mother" was when her son, Craig, took his own life in 2018.
Afida continued, "Tina's two children are Craig and Ronnie - she never adopted Ike Jr." This could cause issues in dividing her estate, she said.Craig and Ronnie are the only 'blood' descendants because they are the only ones that were born after she married Ike.
There are currently no other people in existence with the surname "Turner."
Afida insisted, "I'm not here for that," meaning she wasn't interested in Tina's cash. Respect for my in-laws' mother has brought me here.Nothing has ever been given to me by anyone in the Turner family; that's just the Turner way, OK?
Despite the success of singles like "What's Love Got to do with It" and "We Don't Need Another Hero," Tina earned her estimated final wealth of $250 million in other ways, as reported by Celebrity Net Worth.
In addition to her roles in films like "Tommy," "Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome," and "Last Action Hero," she starred in the 1993 biopic "What's Love Got to Do With It," which detailed her rise to fame and her fight to keep her stage name after divorcing her abusive ex-husband, Ike Turner, who died at the age of 76 in 2010.
Two years before her death, she reportedly made $50 million selling her image and music rights to BMG. She subsequently passed away in her $76 million Swiss chalet.
