Erwin Bach (67), husband of the ‘Queen of Rock and Roll’ Tina Turner, whose death was announced on 24 May at the age of 83, will inherit almost half of Tina’s estate, which has an estimated value of $250 million.
47% will be inherited, to the spouse, as she (Tina) got married in Switzerland.
Erwin, a music producer who married Tina 10 years ago after 27 years together, donated one of his own kidneys to save her life in 2017, and has supported his wife through various health problems, including a stroke just before their marriage in 2013.
Musician Afida Turner, 46, who was the wife of Tina’s son Ronnie, who has since passed away, told the Sunday Mirror of her inheritance. ‘She [Tina] got married in Switzerland, so I think 47% will be inherited by her spouse and the rest by the children.’
Afida married Ronnie in 2007 and they remained married until Ronnie passed away in 2022 at the age of 62 due to complications from colorectal cancer.
Tina also raised two sons of her domestic violence-affected ex-husband Ike Turner as her own children, as well as a son, Craig, born to musician Raymond Hill at the age of 18. Craig took his own life in 2018, which Tina later said was her ‘saddest moment as a mother’.
Afida noted that Tina had not legally adopted Ike’s son Ike Jr, which could complicate her inheritance, and that she was the only one with the Turner name, as both her biological children, Craig and Ronnie, had passed away.
However, Afida says she is not relying on her inheritance, stating, “I am not here for that. I am here to show respect to my mother in law” and “I have always earned my own money. I have never received anything from the Turner family. That’s the Turner family way,” she continues.
Tina, who was known for hits such as What’s Love Got to Do with It and We Don’t Need Another Hero, as well as her appearance in the film Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, had an estimated estate of $250 million, which included the rights to her likeness and music two years before she passed away. The estimated $250 million includes a contract with BMG, said to be worth $50 million, and a $76 million mansion in Switzerland, where Tina sold her portrait and music rights two years before she passed away.
