Amy Winehouse fortune to go to family
Amy Winehouse’s ex-husband Blake Fielder-Civil will reportedly not receive any of the late singer’s fortune.
The singer-songwriter did not complete a will before her death, meaning that her parents Mitch and Janis Winehouse will automatically get her £2,944,554 ($4.7m) earnings after taxes.
A source close to the Winehouse family claimed that Fielder-Civil would most likely have been left something had she written a will.
“She had no idea how much money she had and it certainly wasn’t the top of her priority list,” the insider told The Sun.
“Had she made a will, Blake may have well been left something – not cash, perhaps an investment. Amy still loved him when she died.
“The way things are, Mitch and Janis have been handed the estate. They’re sensible and shrewd so it’s probably for the best Blake doesn’t get anything.”
Winehouse married Fielder-Civil in May 2007 and they divorced in July 2009.
Janis Winehouse revealed last year that her daughter did not want to leave Fielder-Civil, who has been accused of starting her on the “road to hard drugs”.
