Here's Who Inherited Farrah Fawcett's Money After She Died

As her condition progressed, Fawcett valiantly filmed her cancer journey for a documentary titled "Farrah's Story," which was made to bring more awareness to the disease (via The Guardian). Tragically, the project would be her last. According to Biography, Farrah Fawcett died on June 25, 2009, at the age of 62. Showbiz Cheatsheet reports that Fawcett was worth an estimated $20 million at the time of her death. Who would her millions go to?

ABC News writes that Fawcett left nothing in her will for O'Neal, her partner for decades. His son, Griffin O'Neal, later commented that his father wrongly believed he would receive everything. Fawcett, however, left $500,000 each to her nephew, Gregory Walls, and father, James Fawcett. An ex, Gregory Lawrence Lott, got $100,000. Per LiveAbout, all of her personal items, like clothing, jewelry, and furniture, went to her nephew. Her artwork was gifted to the University of Texas at Austin, Fawcett's alma mater (via Trust Counsel).

Fawcett and O'Neal's son Redmond received the most from the will: $4.5 million. However, People reports that there was a stipulation to his inheritance. The money was put into a trust fund overseen by Fawcett's manager and could be only used for his health care. This was done so Redmond, who reportedly suffers from addiction and has gone through his fair share of legal trouble, could use the money for rehab and his well-being. The rest of Fawcett's money went to the Farrah Fawcett Foundation, which she founded in 2007 to aid cancer research and patients.
