During a career spanning over 50 years, she has sold around 200 million records. In 1988, she performed at the Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro in front of an audience of 180,000, and the concert earned her an entry in the Guinness Book of Records – we read on the Deutsche Welle website.
Tina Turner left behind big hits and a huge fortune
Tina Turner’s influence on the music industry is invaluable. For years, the artist achieved success with her first husband Ike Turner, and then realized herself as a solo artist. She played her last concert in 2009 during her 50th anniversary tour. She returned to singing encouraged by loyal fans who, after she announced her retirement, accosted her on the streets.
According to the Daily Mail, apart from immortal hits, Tina Turner left behind a huge fortune estimated at $ 250 million. According to the German portal 20 minuten, the artist earned her first fortune after the release of her fifth solo album “Private Dancer”. The album was supposed to bring the singer a profit of $ 25 million in the United States alone. Additionally, the accompanying tour generated an additional 7 million. Turner’s farewell concerts, in turn, boosted her account by $ 130 million.
In addition to her music career, the artist also appeared on the big screen. She starred in the movie “Tommy”, “Mad Maxie” from 1985 and “Last Action Hero”. Two years ago, she sold the rights to her music and stage name, which could have earned her around $150 million. At the end of 2021, the artist bought a previously rented villa “Alconquin” in Switzerland, its value at the time was 70 million francs.
Who will inherit Tina Turner’s fortune?
The natural heir after Tina Turner’s death is 67-year-old Erwin Bach, whom the artist married in 2013. Their bond was very strong and became a salutary springboard for the artist from her previous, violent relationship. It was Bach who was with the singer when she found out that she was suffering from cancer, helped her recover from a stroke, and supported her when her kidneys refused to obey her. Not only did he take care of his wife, but he even saved her life by donating a kidney needed for a transplant.
Tina Turner’s two biological sons, Ronald and Craig, are dead. One of them committed suicide and the other was suffering from cancer. However, the singer also has offspring from her first relationship. The artist adopted two sons of her ex-husband – Ike Junior and Michael. Like the artist’s grandchildren, the adopted sons may also receive part of the star’s fortune.
