Bobbi Kristina Brown was the offspring of two renowned musicians, Whitney Houston, and Bobby Brown. After the death of her mother in 2012, Bobbi Kristina inherited a substantial amount of wealth, including property and the rights to her mother’s music. Unfortunately, she passed away at the young age of 22 in 2015, leading to a legal battle over her estate.
The exact amount of inheritance she received is not publicly known but is estimated to be around $20 million. However, the situation got complicated after her death as she did not have a will, which meant that her estate was subject to the laws of intestacy. According to these laws, her assets would be distributed among her surviving relatives, including her father Bobby Brown, her grandmother Cissy Houston, and her aunt Pat Houston.
There were several suspicions surrounding her death as she was found unresponsive in a bathtub in her Georgia home in January 2015 and was in a coma until she passed away in July of that year. Her boyfriend, Nick Gordon, was present at the time of her medical emergency, and there were suspicions that he may have played a role in her death.
As a result, Bobbi Kristina’s estate filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Nick Gordon, alleging that he had physically assaulted her and stolen money from her before her death. The lawsuit sought $50 million in damages, but it was never resolved in court as Nick Gordon passed away in 2020 before the case could be heard.
In 2016, a judge appointed Bobby Brown and Pat Houston as co-guardians of Bobbi Kristina’s estate to manage her assets and make decisions about her care. However, the two were unable to agree on how to distribute the assets, and the case remained unresolved for several years.
In 2018, a settlement was reached between Bobby Brown and the estate of Whitney Houston, which granted Bobby Brown full control over the estate. The settlement also granted Bobby Brown control over the rights to Whitney Houston’s music and likeness, which had previously been managed by the estate.
It is uncertain how much of Bobbi Kristina’s estate remains, as much of it may have been used to cover legal fees and other expenses related to the legal battle. The controversy and conflict over who inherited Bobbi Kristina’s wealth remained a matter of discussion for many years after her death, adding to the complexity of the situation.
