The legendary comic siren, who died last week after suffering a cardiac arrest, amassed much of her personal wealth through her investment in the QVC shopping channel.
Although she was most famous for her lavish and outspoken on-stage performances, Joan Rivers is said to have earned £25 million a year after her company turned over more than £620 million in the last 24 years, according to reports in the US.
What’s more, Rivers also owned a £22million luxury apartment in Manhattan, New York City.
Prior to her passing, Rivers stated her intention to leave her estate to her daughter, 46-year old Melissa.
However, friends of the star say that she has also taken care of her grandson 13-year old Cooper and her dogs.
Meanwhile, ‘Fashion Police’ co-host Giuliana Rancic claimed recently that Rivers’ funeral was ‘exactly what she would have wanted.’
The 40-year-old star said the private service at Temple Emanu-El in New York City on Sunday, September 7, 2014 was ‘really beautiful.’
She explained: ‘Joan said in her book [‘I Hate Everyone…Starting With Me’] that she would want lights, camera, action and people lined up outside and paparazzi, and she got it.’
