Nearly half of Tina Turner’s estimated $250 million fortune will go to her husband according to a new report. The legendary singer married 67-year-old music producer Erwin Bach ten years ago following a 27-year relationship.
Erwin Bach saved her life in 2017 by giving her a kidney and helping her through past health issues, such as her 2013 stroke.
Tina’s singer daughter-in-law Afida Turner, who is the widow of her late son Ronnie, told the Sunday Mirror about how the star’s wealth was likely to be split. The 46-year-old stated, “As she married in Switzerland, I think around 47 per cent will go to the spouse and the rest to the children.”
Afida continued on how the family structure may cause issues with how her wealth is divided. Ronnie and Afida were married from 2007 until his death in 2022 at the age of 62 from problems related to colon cancer. She declared, “Tina never adopted Ike Jr.; her two children are Craig and Ronnie.”
“It’s just because she was with Ike that they were in the family, so the only ‘blood’ descendants are Craig and Ronnie,” Afida added. “Today I’m the only one with the name – there are no other Turners.”
Afida stressed she wasn’t thinking about Tina’s money, adding, “I’m not here for that. I’m here to respect my mother-in-law. I’ve always earned my own money – no one has ever given me anything in the Turner family – that’s the Turner way, OK.”
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Tina’s total net worth of $250 million came from more than just her string of great songs like “What’s Love Got to Do With It” and “We Don’t Need Another Hero.”
She also acted in movies like “Tommy,” “Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome,” and “Last Action Hero,” and in the 1993 biopic “What’s Love Got to Do With It,” she recounted her difficult divorce from her abusive ex-husband Ike Turner, who died in 2010 at the age of 76 after abusing her with beatings and sex that she claimed felt more like rape.
