Bourdain’s daughter to get his cash

- BY VICTORIA BEKIEMPIS

Celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain has left most of his estate, which is worth up to $1.21 million, to his 11-year-old daughter new court papers reveal.

According to Manhattan Surrogate’s Court documents filed Thursday, the “Parts Unknown” star’s property includes $425,000 in savings and cash, $35,000 in brokerage money, $250,000 in personal property and $500,000 in “intangible property including royalties and residuals.”

Ottavia Busia-Bourdain, the famed foodie’s estranged wife, is listed as the executor of his estate.

In his will, Bourdain, 61, left Busia-Bourdain all his “personal and household effects,” such as cars and frequent flier miles, “to dispose of in accordance with what (she) believes to have been my wishes.”

A guardian will be picked by the court for Bourdain’s daughter, Ariane, to “safeguard” the handling of her inheritanc­e, since she is still a minor.

If Ariane had died before Bourdain, her nanny, Myra Quizon, would have received that money, his will indicates.
