Sites like Celebrity Net Worth and the Richest estimate that David Bowie had a net worth of $230 million. However, while that might be a "yeah, makes sense" type of figure for an artist of Bowie's caliber, Hugh McIntyre of Forbes notes that the artist's actual estate appears to have been significantly smaller. A few weeks after Bowie's death in January 10, 2016, details of his will emerged, and going by them his estate was worth "only" around $100 million. Half of this went to Bowie's wife, Iman, while the rest was divided between his two children. Bowie also took care to leave a little something to the people who had worked with him, to the point that a former nanny found herself on the receiving end of a cool $1 million.
