Contents of Bee Gee Robin Gibb"s Will Revealed
Apparently Robin Gibb of Bee Gees fame didn't lead a dull life. The singer/songwriter, who died at the age of 62 due to complications from colorectal cancer back on May 20, 2012, was married to his second wife, Dwina Murphy Gibb, at the time of his death, but had fathered a daughter named Snow with his "housekeeper," Claire Yang, in November 2008, and also had two children from his first marriage, Spencer and Melissa, and one with Dwina, Robin-John (RJ for short).
According to Gibb's will, the contents of which were recently revealed, Spencer, age 40, and Melissa, age 38, will each receive cash gifts of £500,000 (or about $780,000 USD); Ms. Yang, age 38, will receive a house valued at £800,000 (or about $1,250,000 USD); and the balance of the £25.8?million estate (or about $40 million USD) will go to Dwina, age 60.
So what about 4-year-old Snow and 30-year-old RJ? The will was signed in August 2011, about 9 months before Gibb died, and it states that he was in the process of "making reasonable provision for Snow," and RJ will receive what's left after Dwina dies. But apparently this didn't sit well with RJ, who took a shot at the housekeeper by posting the following on his Facebook page: "More misinformation. There is no evidence behind this housekeeper rumour that got out of hand. She never slept with my father. He didn't sleep around, but if he had he would have had better taste than that! This woman had boyfriends in town." Ouch.
