Neil Simon n left $12M+ to widow

Prodigious playwright Neil Simon made his fifth spouse a wealthy widow — leaving her $12 million cash, two apartments at the Ritz Tower on Park Avenue and his original manuscripts.

The “Odd Couple” scribe, who died last month at 91, provided the generous bequests to his wife of 19 years, actress Elaine Joyce, 74, in a 45-page will that was filed in Manhattan Surrogate’s Court Wednesday.

The court papers peg Simon’s fortune at “greater than $1 million” but his will details additional cash gifts of $1 million to his adopted daughter, Bryn Lander Simon, $50,000 each to the American Cancer Society and the American Kidney Fund, and $10,000 to his nephew Michael Simon, a federal judge in Oregon.

Simon’s two biological daughters from his first marriage, Ellen and Nancy Simon, will receive whatever is left in his estate after the specified gifts are made — unless they challenge his final wishes.

The Broadway great — whose hits included “Barefoot in the Park” and “The Odd Couple” — asked his wife to donate his manuscripts, notebooks and original papers.

“It is my hope and desire, without imposing any legal obligation, that my said spouse shall give the manuscripts to such one or more charitable organizations as my spouse shall determine in her sole and absolute direction,” Simon wrote in the 2012 will.
