Nearly half of Tina Turner's estimated $250 million fortune will go to her husband.
The "What's Love Got to Do With It" singer and music producer Erwin Bach, 67, tied the knot ten years ago following a 27-year courtship.
He helped her survive a kidney transplant in 2017 and helped her cope with various health issues, including a stroke she suffered in 2013 shortly before their wedding.
The widow of Tina's late son Ronnie and singing daughter-in-law Afida, 46, revealed to the Sunday Mirror how the star's fortune will probably be divided. Since she got married in Switzerland, she said she predicts that roughly 47% will go to the spouse and the remaining portion to the kids.
Ronnie and Afida Turner were wed from 2007 till his death at the age of 62 in 2022 from complications related to colon cancer.
When Tina was 18 years old, she also adopted Craig, a son from a previous union with the singer Raymond Hill, and two of the boys of her violent husband Ike Turner.
Tina referred to Craig's suicide in 2018 as her "saddest moment as a mother."
"Tina's two children are Craig and Ronnie - she never adopted Ike Jr.," Afida said in reference to how the family structure may complicate how her fortune is divided.
The only "blood" descendants who are still alive now are Craig and Ronnie, and they are only there because she was with Ike.
There are no other Turners in existence today, Afida said. She even said that she's the only one with the name. However, Afida emphasized that she was not even considering Tina's money and said, she's not here for that. She said she has come to show her mother-in-law some respect. She explained that she always made her own money; no one in the Turner family has ever handed her anything; that's just the Turner way.
"'What's Love Got to Do With It' and 'We Don't Need Another Hero' weren't the only hits Tina had, as calculated by Celebrity Net Worth, contributing to her total net worth of $250 million.
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 violent 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.
She died in her $76 million Swiss retreat two years after selling her image and song rights to BMG in a deal estimated to be worth $50 million.
According to reports, Tina Turner's widower intends to turn the $76 million Swiss estate where she passed away into a museum honoring her life and career.
