{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Along with an incalculable musical legacy, Mexican singer Juan Gabriel left behind a fortune valued at around $30 million, according to CelebryNetWorth.com.
Last year Forbes magazine placed Juan Gabriel, who composed hundreds of popular songs in Spanish, at No. 18 among the richest musicians in the world. Just in 2015, he made around $11 million.
As the dust settles after Juan Gabriel’s sudden passing, it will be determined who will be receiving some of the singer’s estate.

Ivan, the eldest, is reportedly the executor of his estate and had a very close relationship with the singer in the last few years, as he worked for him.
Other possible beneficiary of the estate is Silvia Urquidi, a friend of Juan Gabriel who is currently the administrator of 16 of El Divo de Juarez's real estate properties. She has said that all the properties, valued at about $5.3 million, will be returned to his family.
