Brando leaves $21.6m

Marlon Brando has 10 living children and his $21.6m (€17m) estate includes his Beverly Hills home, according to his will filed in the US Superior Court.

Brando’s assets included $18.6m (€15m) in real estate and $3m (€2.4m) in personal property, according to the will, which was filed yesterday.

It does not specify how the estate will be split. Brando said in the will that he was not married.

The iconic Oscar-winning actor died of lung failure at age 80 on July 1.

His living children are identified as Christian, 46 , Miko, 43 , Teihotu, 41, Rebecca Brando Kotlinzky, 38, Petra Brando-Corval, 32, Maimiti, 28, Raiatua, 23, Nina Priscilla, 15, Myles Jonathan, 12, and Timothy Gahan, 10.

He identified his former maid, Maria Christina Ruiz, as the mother of his three youngest children. She was appointed their guardian.

Ruiz previously filed a $100m (€80.5m) breach-of-contract suit against Brando but settled out of court.

Petra Brando-Corval was adopted and is not a beneficiary of the will. She was the child of Brando’s former personal assistant, Caroline Barrett, who sued the actor after a dispute over a $185,000 (€149,000) loan.

Another daughter, Cheyenne, committed suicide in 1995.
