Freddie Mercury, who would have turned 76 on Monday, September 5, is widely considered one of the greatest singers of all time, with a career spanning nearly two decades before his untimely death at the age of 45. Now, three decades after his death, Queen's music is still breaking records in the industry. So who's getting the singer's share and where did his millions go?Mercury, born Farrokh Bulsara in 1946 Zanzibar, had an estimated net worth of over $50million (£43million) at the time of his death in 1991 according to Celebrity Net Worth.
A large majority of this was in his real estate portfolio, worth an estimated $40million (£34million), while the singer held over $10million (£8. 7million) in liquid assets. This incredible inheritance was split between Mercury's nearest and dearest.
His long-time friend and close confidante Mary Austin received the largest slice of the singer's millions as well as his home. Mercury set aside a fair amount of funds for his parents, Bomi and Jer Bulsara, and his only sister, Kashmira.

The Somebody To Love singer died just one day after he publicly revealed he had been diagnosed with AIDS in 1991, with complications related to the disease cited as responsible for his death. Although Mercury lived a life of style and flamboyance, his intimate funeral service surprised his fans, attended by just 35 people in West London. Only Austin reportedly knows the burial site of Mercury's ashes.
