Cilla Leaves £15m Fortune To Her Sons
Liverpool born singer leaves everything to her three boys in her will
Cilla Black has left the majority of her £15.2m fortune to her sons Robert, 45, Ben, 41 and Jack aged 35. She also left £20,000 to Penelope Walker, who is believed to be her long-standing Housekeeper.
The Liverpool born singer and TV Presenter passed away last August at her holiday home in Spain. She was sunbathing when she lost her balance, fell and hit her head, which knocked her unconscious and led to a Stroke. A coroner ruled that Cilla’s death was accidental after she suffered a traumatic head injury.
The 72 year old had spoken of how she would die happy if she were to pass away before any illness could rob her of being able to enjoy life.
Cilla was married to her manager Bobby Willis, who passed away in 1999. She never re-married. Her funeral was held in St Mary's Church in Woolton, before she was laid to rest alongside her parents at Allerton Cemetery.
