Half of David Bowie's $100 million fortune went to his model wife Iman. The late singer's will was filed in Manhattan court on Friday, January 29, revealing that Iman will inherit around $50 million and a house in Lafayette Street, Manhattan.

Bowie and Iman's 15-year-old daughter Alexandria will get his house in Little Tonshi Mountain, near Woodstock as well as a 25 percent share in the estate. Duncan Jones, his 44-year-old son from previous marriage to Angela Barnett, will also get 25 percent.

Bowie also gave $2 million to his friend and personal assistant, Corinne Coco Schwab, and $1 million to Duncan's former nanny, Marion Skene. The will also revealed his dying wish to have his ashes scattered on the island nation of Bali, Indonesia in accordance with Buddhist rituals. Bowie signed the will in 2004, the year when he had a heart attack in Europe.
