Months after McVie's death, Daily Mail shared a copy of her will in which her former manager Martin Wyatt and businessman Paul Glass are listed as administrators and executors of the estate.

According to the document, the late singer left £70 million, or approximately $91.5 million, of inheritance to her brother John Perfect and grandchildren - $74 million of which is the worth of her estate in the UK. She also left funds to various charities to help them after her death, per the filing.

At the time of her passing, Christine McVie's net worth hit the $105 million mark, and a huge percentage of it mostly came from her gigs as a member of Fleetwood Mac and work as a songwriter.

Her official website also disclosed more details about her finances and explained how she was able to earn that much through different sources of income.

The deal made her the fourth Fleetwood Mac to sell a catalog and the second member to reach a deal with the same company.

McVie also earned several millions through the solo albums she released, including "Christine McVie," "In the Meantime," and "Christine Perfect," to name a few.
