Freddie Mercury’s ex-wife, Mary Austin, will receive $255 million after the sale of the rights to Queen’s music for over $1 billion to Song.
Following the death of Queen’s lead singer in 1991, Mary received half of his estate and an additional 25% after the death of Freddie’s parents. She also receives profits from Queen Productions.
Mary and Freddie Mercury had a six-year relationship and remained close friends after Freddie came out as gay.
“When he died, I felt we had had a marriage. We lived our vows. We did it for better or for worse, in riches and in poverty, in health and in sickness,” Mary told the Mirror.
“The only friend I have is Mary, and I don’t want anyone else. For me, she was my wife in fact,” Freddie reportedly said about Mary, according to the portal.
