This is Sinéad O'Connor's inheritance to her three children

It's hard to believe, but it's been more than a year and a half since Sinéad O'Connor suddenly passed away from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) on July 26, 2023, at the age of 56.

A year and a half before that, the singer had suffered the most intense pain for a mother. Her son Shane had taken his life on January 6, 2022. This loss ended up taking its toll on her own health.

Time has passed, the memory of Sinéad O'Connor is still alive and, above all, her other three children are moving forward as best they can.

Jake (37), Roisin (28), and Yeshua (17) are the children who survived the artist. As legitimate heirs, they have received a million-dollar inheritance, The Sun revealed.

The British newspaper has accessed the Irish inheritance records of Sinéad O'Connor and revealed that her three children will share 1.4 million pounds (1.76 million US dollars).

The sum was originally 1.7 million pounds, but outstanding debts, taxes, funeral costs, and legal fees reduced it.

The inheritance is not limited to the artist's cash assets; it also includes her impressive musical legacy and the lucrative rights to her discography.

"I direct that after my death, and at the discretion of any of my children who are then over 18, my albums are to be released so as to milk it for what it's worth," the artist wrote in her will, signed in 2013.

It gives them free rein to use the rights to her music and use the songs in whatever way they see fit: one-off agreements, selling them in whole or in part, or keeping them and collecting the relevant royalties. They will decide.

Thus, the rights to songs 'The Emperor's New Clothes' or 'Drink Before The War' are already in the hands of Sinéad O'Connor's children, waiting to know what they do with them. The matter of one of her biggest hits, 'Nothing Compares 2 U', is a little more complicated as it was written by Prince, whose heirs also share in the benefits of its copyright.

If they decide to sell Sinéad O'Connor's entire music catalog, they could make a lot of money, but you never know. In any case, no matter how much money they make, they will never get their mother back.
