Robin Gibb Estate: Staggering Value of Late Bee Gee's Assets Revealed

The Bee Gees' Robin Gibb apparently amassed a huge fortune during his celebrated career with the band and as a solo artist. The legendary singer passed away at the age of 62 after losing his battle with cancer back in May. Now, the value of the estate he left behind has been revealed.

According The Sun, Robin's property portfolio includes a $24 million family home in Oxfordshire, England, a $4.1 million beach house in Miami, Fla. and a $12.8 million London property.

While it could take up to five years for lawyers to uncover more of Gibb's assets abroad, his estimated $148 million fortune will be divided among his wife Dwina and kids Melissa, Spencer and RJ. "Probate could take years to sort out. No one but Claire's received anything so far," an insider says.


Additionally, his housekeeper Claire Yang, with whom he fathered daughter Snow, is said to have received an $8 million settlement prior to Gibb's death. Land registry records also reportedly reveal Yang was gifted a $1.3 million house in Oxfordshire.

The amount does not surprise me at all. He spent most of his life entertaining and made smart investments. Imagine how much he spent and add that together and the total is enormous. Rappers, who basically have no talent, have many millions, and they live high and fancy. The Bee Gees were very, very talented, and in some ways I preferred them to the Beatles. Three of the four sons died young, they had so much to give, so let's remember this talented family and thank God we had as many years of them as life allowed.

Not all was rosy and fine. Why else would he make a baby with the housekeeper?

The Bee Gee's were one of a kind. The songs they made span the ages.

Robin was such a sweet guy and a tremendous talent...gone way too soon like Maurice and Andy. He worked tirelessly for charity too. He had one of the most beautiful voices on the planet. RIP Rob...miss you.

Why is this a surprise? He was a phenomanal songwriter and obviously took care of his money. I'm sure his estate will be collecting royalties in perpetuity.

NOW ALL THIS MONEY GONNA BE TIED UP IN PROBATE FOR 5 YRS, I THINK THE LAWYERS GONNA COME OUT BETTER THAN THE FAMILY. I SAY BEFORE YOU DIE GIVE SOME OF THE MONEY OUT TO FAMILY LITTLE BY LITTLE AND SEE HOW THEY SPEND IT. AND IF THEY ARE A SPEND THRIFT LEAVE NOTHING FOR THEM. AND TO THE ONES THAT HAVE GOOD FINANCIAL CONTROL, LEAVE MOST OF IT TO THEM. LOL WHAT ABOUT THE DOGS AND THE CATS DID THEY GET ANYTHING. WONDERING IF THE REST OF THE GIBBS BROTHERS WERE AS SMART AS ROBIN
