Tina Turner: a diva marked by abandonment and abuse who today lives in her mansion in Switzerland with her fortune of 250 million

Several decades ago he adopted Ike Jr (65) and Michael (64), the offspring Ike had from a previous relationship with Lorraine Taylor. None of them made her a grandmother.

But it should be noted that for more than a decade the relationship with both, with Ike Jr. and Michael, had cooled to such an extent that they no longer spoke to each other.

Tina Turner was the queen of rock. His name was synonymous with blockbuster and success. Since 1957 when he joined Kings of Rhythm, Ike Turner's band, he soon became a reference beyond black music. Between 1960 and 1976 they became Ike & Tina, one of the most successful duos in the history of music with songs as emblematic as River Deep Mountain High, Get Back or Proud Mary. From the mid-70s Tina began her solo career. In the soundtrack of several generations still resonate What's love have to do with it, Private dancer or Goldeneye.

With more than 100 million records sold over five decades of career, two years ago Tina Turner signed the most lucrative business of her life when she sold her music catalog to BMG for 260 million euros. Although he never flaunted his astronomical fortune, he loved to live well. Together with her husband Erin Bach (67) she lived in Chateau Algonquin, a formidable castle of 5,500 square meters in the small town of Küsnacht, on the outskirts of Zurich, where the famous psychiatrist and psychologist Carl Gustav Jung lived.

A great fortune

The couple had rented this formidable building with its own jetty on Lake Zurich because Swiss law prevents the purchase of properties to all those who are not residents and have nationality. In 2013 they got the residence, but kept the lease until less than two years ago they invested 76 million dollars in a land of 2.2 hectares composed of ten buildings in Stäfa, located about 15 kilometers from their habitual residence. At the time, Tina and Erin declared that this was going to be their weekend retreat. It was said that Roger Federer had also been interested in buying it. At the time of her death, Tina was in the castle.

According to the legislation of the Swiss country, following the death of the diva of music her husband is entitled to 50% of the inheritance and the descendants, in this case the two adopted children who are considered equal to the legitimate ones, would have to divide equally the rest of the patrimony.

Gone was that childhood in which Tina had to pick cotton and strawberries with her grandmother and study nursing to help financially at home.
