FINE LEGACY
Cricket legend Shane Warne leaves €13m to his family
BY
CRICKET superstar Shane Warne left almost his entire €13million fortune to his three children.
Brooke, 25, Jackson, 23, and Summer Warne, 21, each received 31% of his estate.
However, Warne left nothing to their mother, his ex-wife Simone Callahan, nor former fiancée Liz Hurley.
The remainder of the spin bowler’s wealth went to his BYE His last Test at the MCG brother Jason on 2% with 2.5% each given to his kids Sebastian and Tyla.
The Aussie great died in Thailand last March from a heart attack.
His will, revealed for the first time yesterday, listed considerable assets and an impressive property portfolio.
They included his luxury €4.2m home in Portsea, Victoria, and €1.3m worth of personal belongings, including a jet-ski.
He also had €3.15m in his Australian bank account, €325,000 in an HSBC account and €1.9m worth of shares.
His prized vehicle collection, valued at €242,000, included a BMW, Mercedes and a Yamaha motorbike. They were all left to Jackson, who said recently his dad was humble in private, despite his exuberant public image.
He revealed: “He never had his trophies up on shelves. He was never showing anything off. He was Shane Warne, the best father anyone could have asked for, and my best friend.”
Warne’s death at just 52 stunned the sporting world. More than 50,000 mourners gathered at the Melbourne Cricket Ground for his state memorial last March.
Elton John, Chris Martin, Ed Sheeran and Robbie Williams all performed at the event for the former Hampshire star, who later became a broadcaster.
The leg spinner was regarded as one of the greatest cricketers of all time, taking 708 Test wickets in 145 matches from 1992 to 2007. He won seven Ashes and two World Cups.
