Frances Bean inherited 37% of her late father’s estate in December 2009.
In 2019, she revealed that she feels ‘guilt’ over inheriting the money, which she is said to be about $95,000 a month, because she ‘didn’t earn it,’ as reported by People.
‘It’s almost like this big, giant loan that I’ll never get rid of,’ she revealed during an episode of the RuPaul: What’s The Tee? podcast.
‘I have an almost foreign relationship to it or guilt because it feels like money from somebody that I’ve never met, let alone earned myself.’

Nirvana burst out of the underground and into the mainstream music scene with the release of their seminal album Nevermind in 1991, with the help of its powerful lead single Smells Like Teen Spirit.
For the next three years, the Seattle-based rockers went on to become among the biggest bands in the world, selling over 75 million records worldwide.
Eventually, Nirvana was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in their first year of eligibility in 2014.
