After her death in London in July 2011, Amy Winehouse’s inheritance went to her parents. Since she was not married, had no children, and left no will, this occurred by default. Her father, Mitch, who was 60 at the time of her death, was revealed about a year later to be the administrator of her estate, per Rolling Stone, which amounted to around $4.6 million after taxes. In addition, according to The Star, her fortune is estimated to have substantially increased in the years since her death, due to royalties.
According to Smooth Radio, Mitch and Janis divorced around 1993, when Amy was around 9. However, they obviously remained in touch, especially after their daughter found so much success as a musician. Mitch, as well as his ex-wife Janis, who was 56 at the time of Amy’s death, used some of the money to found the Amy Winehouse Foundation in the years after. The foundation aims to raise awareness and prevent harm from drug and alcohol misuse, especially among young people.
