Joan Rivers Leaves $100 Million Estate to Daughter Melissa

Joan and Melissa Rivers

Melissa Rivers is still very much mourning the loss of her mother, Joan Rivers, last month. It was only recently that it was announced Joan Rivers death was the result of a complication in the midst of a throat procedure, but that likely does little to ease the mind of her daughter during this difficult time. Additionally, learning that she has inherited her mother’s estate still isn’t enough to ease the pain of losing her mother years too soon.

The star’s daughter, however, is now $100+ million wealthier. Rivers’ left her daughter $75 million in cash and a $35 million apartment on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. She also left her grandson his own share of her fortune, though there are no details available on what 13-year-old Cooper has received from his grandmother’s estate.

Rivers’ inheritance is significant, but a friend close to Melissa Rivers says that no amount of money, no number of beautiful homes and no kind of inheritance is helpful to the star’s daughter. “It’s no consolation for losing her mother so soon,” said the friend of the stars.

It’s been over a month since the Fashion Police star lost her life, and her daughter has only made one public statement. Otherwise, she’s kept mostly to herself. Rivers’ is reportedly holed up with her son, mourning the loss of mother and grandmother. News of her new fortune isn’t enough to have elicited a comment from Melissa, who did come forward to thank her mother’s fans for their support, prayers and love, and to say that she is still grieving and appreciative of her privacy shortly after the star’s cause of death was announced.

“We continue to be saddened by our tragic loss. No further comment at this time,” Melissa Rivers said after it was announced that her mother died as a result of a surgical complication.
