Brando Leaves $21.6 million to Family
Despite rumours that he died with no dough.
Despite all the rumours just prior to his death it turns out Marlon Brando was not so penniless as was reported, the Hollywood legend has apparently left $21.6 million to his family in his will. In terms of appearance Brando stood in stark contrast to his earlier days after he put on a lot of weight, but it seems that he didn't spend all his money on Big Macs!
Like any clever businessman Brando invested his hard earned money in property and despite losing some of his artistic credibility because of his recent roles he always made sure to get a good payoff. He spent a lot of money due to issues in his personal life, one example of which is when the screen legend paid the fees for his son's legal team after he was convicted of killing his half-sister's fiancee.
It looks like Brando was able to put his money away just as easily as he was able to slip out of the limelight, just as well because he has ten children left to provide for. And so at the end of his life Hollywood's best method actor ever has surprised his fans once more, having led such an eventful life it is quite apt that it should finish like this.
