    Sinead O’Connor’s fortune revealed as she instructs children to ‘milk it all’

     

    Sinead O’Connor’s fortune revealed as she instructs children to ‘milk it all’

    Sinead O’Connor left £1.7million to her children when she died, it has been revealed.

    The Irish songwriting legend died on July 26, 2023, at the age of 56. It was later ruled that her cause of death was chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and bronchial asthma.

    Adding to the tragedy, O’Connor’s death came just 18 months after her son, Shane Lunny, took his own life at 17.

    The Nothing Compares 2 U hitmaker, who married four times, is now survived by three other children.

    She had Jake, 36, with her first husband, John Reynolds; Roisin, 27, with John Waters; and Yeshua, 16, with Frank Bonadio. Shane’s father was with Donal Lunny.

    In new documents seen by The Sun, it is stated that O’Connor left instructions for her children to ‘milk’ her fortune ‘for all it’s worth.’

    They will split £1.4million between them, which had £300k knocked off to cover debts, funeral costs, and legal fees, as per Irish probate records.

    O’Connor, who previously converted to Islam, signed the document in 2013 and wrote: ‘My children can dispense my ashes as they see fit.

    ‘I direct that after my death, and at the discretion of any of my children who are then over 18, my albums are to be released so as to “milk it for what it’s worth”.’

    She also requested to be dressed in priest clothing inside her coffin and to be buried with a Hebrew Bible, as well as her album Theology.

    Details of O’Connor’s estate are yet to be published.

    However, the singer, who sold 6.2million records worldwide, wished for Shane to inherit her religious regalia.

    Youngest Yeshua was to be given her guitars.

    O’Connor’s ex-husband, Reynolds, whom she married in 1987, is named as the executor of her will.

    Reynolds, who split from O’Connor in 1991, was also the one to formally register her death.

    Following O’Connor’s death, as she was found unresponsive at her home in Herne Hill, her fans and celebrity admirers descended into mourning.

    As her funeral took place ahead of her burial at a Catholic cemetery last summer, almost 5,000 mourners lined the streets to remember her.

    U2 star Bono and Sir Bob Geldof attended the service, where a eulogy remembered her as ‘a beloved daughter of Ireland’ with ‘a poet’s heart’ whose ‘voice moved a generation of young people’.

    On the first anniversary of O’Connor’s death, A-listers and music lovers alike expressed their sorrow as her loss is still greatly felt, with Jamie Lee Curtis among those penning emotional public tributes.

    The Grammy award-winning star was shot to fame when she covered Prince’s Nothing Compares 2 U.

    She released her first album, The Lion And The Cobra, in 1987, before her second, I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got, landed in 1990 and contained the hit that went on to achieve worldwide success.

    A little-known ballad at the time, O’Connor sent Nothing Compares 2 U to number one in the charts, where it remained for weeks.

    O’Connor went on to have a majorly successful career in music, releasing 10 albums.
