Who inherited Muddy Waters money and estate?
Muddy Waters had been active in the music world for quite a long time before his death. He had a large fan base and a huge wealth to go with it. According to sources, Muddy Waters had a net worth estimated at 5 million USD which he earned from his singing career.
Muddy Waters had said in his will that his estates and money should be managed by an executor and the money be divided equally amongst his children.
His children took the matter to court after it was reported the executor was mismanaging funds.
The judge appointed Waters’ daughter, Mercy Morganfield, administrator of Waters’ estate. Since Mercy’s appointment, Waters’ heirs have tried to unearth the whereabouts of hundreds of thousands of dollars generated by Waters’ estate but not paid to them.
