Jade Goody wanted to be sure that her two boys, Bobby Jack, 5, and Freddie, 4, had a financially secure future and a good education, so before she died, she did what she could to make sure that happened. She was very successful and each boy will inherit £2million (approximately $3 million US).
Goody passed away Sunday, March 22, and in the months before she died, she secured deals with sale of her wedding video and photos, her book, and interviews, in order to give her boys a stable future. Her sons were everything to her and she wanted peace of mind before she lost her battle with cancer.
Bobby and Freddie will each receive nearly $3 million and all of their future school fees have been paid. She left nothing to her husband Jack Tweed. However, the two of them had discussed that before her passing and it was decided that the boys would come first.
A friend said, "She and Jack talked about what he would get but Jade told him her sons would always come first. Before she died Jade said, 'Everything I have, my houses and my money, is going to my sons. Jack wants this just as much as me. I offered him my Essex house, but he refused, saying her couldn't stay there without me. I've always wanted my family to have what I never could, no matter what it might cost.'"
"Jade was amazing, despite her cancer she made sure everything was sorted," said the insider. "She has handed her house to her mum and the boys won't want for anything."
