Less than a week after the death of Tina Turner, the subject among the closest to the singer already revolves around the inheritance supposedly left to the family. Daughter of the interpreter of “Private Dancer” and “Let’s Stay Together”, among other successes, Afida Turner was the first to speak about the subject publicly.
Widow of artist Ronnie Taylor, Tina’s youngest son, the former reality show celebrity told the TPMP program, on Canal+, that, according to the singer’s will, 47% of the estate will go to the current music producer Erwin Bach and the rest for the children. Tina’s fortune, who died of natural causes on May 24, at the age of 83 at her home in Zurich, Switzerland, is estimated at almost US$ 300 million, approximately R$ 1 billion.
Tina Tuner had four children. Two biological ones, Craig and Ronnie, and two who were only from her first husband, Ike, named Ike Turner Jr. and Michael Turner and were adopted after the death of their mother, Lorraine Taylor. But Afida assured that the singer never legally adopted the two stepchildren. “So the only ‘blood’ ones, as they say, the actual descendants would be Craig and Ronnie,” she explained.
Craig, Tina’s eldest son, whom she had at age 18 with saxophonist Raymond Hill, died of apparent suicide aged 55, in 2018. Four years later, Ronnie, the youngest, died of cancer, aged 62. Adopted children Ike Turner Jr. (born 1958), and Michael Turner (1959), have stayed out of the spotlight.
