Marlon Brando, the renowned actor known for his unforgettable performances in films like “The Godfather” and “A Streetcar Named Desire,” left behind a remarkable legacy when he passed away.
Not only was he celebrated for his on-screen talent, but he also made headlines with his off-screen escapades.
Brando lived a life of indulgence, marked by three marriages that resulted in five children.
However, he fathered an additional six children through affairs with a Guatemalan housekeeper and several other women.
Brando's unparalleled fame undoubtedly paid off.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, he had about $23 million in liquid assets at the time of his death in 2004.
When factoring in his extensive real estate holdings and even his private island in Tahiti, his total net worth reached approximately $100 million.
Now, let's delve into the details of Brando's will and discover who inherited his substantial fortune.
It is no surprise that the distribution of the estate of a rich and famous individual can become convoluted and contentious.
As reported by The Age, Brando's will followed this pattern.
While he included all 11 of his children in his will, he made a couple of seemingly heartless exclusions before his passing.
Instead of directly specifying beneficiaries, his assets were placed in a “living trust,” with only a few female friends designated to receive “certain monthly payments.”
Interestingly, Brando did make it clear who would not be receiving any portion of his hard-earned wealth.
A few years prior to his death, he removed his 32-year-old adopted daughter and a teenage grandson from the will.
However, true to his enigmatic nature, Brando did not disclose the reasons behind his decision to exclude them.
Despite the mystery surrounding the omissions, Brando's remaining 11 children were left to inherit his fortune.
They would become the recipients of his vast wealth and assets.
While the specifics of the distribution were not publicly disclosed, it is safe to assume that each child received a significant share of their father's wealth.
With such a substantial fortune at stake, it is likely that Brando's children now enjoy a life of financial comfort and security.
