Somewhat surprising to me.

quote:

The late TV chef Anthony Bourdain was worth just $1.21 million when he hanged himself last month, new legal filings revealed Thursday.


quote:

Previous estimates had pegged his fortune at $16 million.

Bourdain’s will leaves the bulk of his money to his 11-year-old daughter Ariane Busia-Bourdain and the control over his estate to her mother, his estranged wife Ottavia Busia-Bourdain. It was filed in Manhattan Surrogate’s Court.

His assets include $425,000 in “cash and savings,” $35,000 in a brokerage account, $250,000 and “personal property,” and $500,000 in “intangible property including royalties and residuals,” according to court papers.




Either he spent a lot of money or did not make a lot of money.

Anthony bourdain was a culinary genius. I always enjoyed his minimalist style. Many of his favorite recipes could be prepared with just a spoon and a flame.

There has to be more to the story if that's all he had.

Not surprising. I thought he might be worth a little more though

Those fortune magazine estimates always seems to be on the high end judging people's net worth, but whatever source was used to estimate really missed on this one.

didn't he just get divorced?

that might have hit him hard, cash wise, as well

might be why he had so much money in cash

Not surprised at all. Besides drugs, how much do y'all really think someone on the travel channel was making?

quote:

Tony insists that reports about his net worth “are about 10 times overstated,” and he doesn’t even mind paying high taxes. “Everybody gets theirs: My partners make money, I make money, the government gets theirs,” Bourdain explains.

So the guy offed himself and didn’t have the decency to leave his young daughter anything. Selfish, drug addicted, narcissistic prick.

I was surprised by this, too. My retirement accounts are better off than his, but I’m not paying for a million dollar home.

He purchased a $3.35 million home in NYC just a few years ago. Did he sell it recently? How was he not worth more than $1.2 million based solely on the apartment?

My wife-no-pics and I have been binge watching Parts Unknown. It's creepy how often he references himself dying early.

He lived in New York. I bet the taxes ate up all the money he didn't piss away on dope.
