How the singer shared out vast £97m fortune

-

THE singer left £97,6 5,179 in his will – but there was nothing for boyfriend Fadi Fawaz.

After George Michael died on Christmas Day in 2016 Fawaz, 6 – who found the body – based himself in his £5million mews house in Regent’s Park, central London.

He left earlier this year after being arrested for causing ‘significan­t’ damage inside the property. Fawaz was seen living in a Travelodge in central London, and apparently later sleeping rough.

Instead, Michael’s will stipulated his property and personal belongings went in equal shares to sisters Yioda and Melanie. His father Jack got a stud farm in Hertfordsh­ire ‘for so long as he wishes’.

Paintings and art including his John Lennon piano (which is on display at a museum in Yorkshire) were to go to the trustees of the Mill Charitable Trust – a charity which Michael set up in 2009 to give money away to other charities.

The remainder of the estate was to be sold by the trustees then divided as they saw fit between his father, sisters, Shirlie Kemp, Kay Mayer (Beckenham), David Austin, Michelle May, Alex Giorgiou, Connie Filippo and Sonia Bird.

Or it can be given to a charity or charitable cause as chosen by the trustees at their ‘absolute discretion.’

The executors and trustees are lawyer Christophe­r Organ and his sister Yioda.
