Chadwick Boseman’s extraordinary, impactful life: ‘A Tribute for a King’
After the late actor’s untimely death in 2020, his widow and parents will each receive an equal share of his estate.
After taxes, funeral, legal, and attorney costs were deducted, the Black Panther actor, who was 43 when he passed away, left behind a $2.3 million fortune.
According to Black Enterprise, his widow Taylor Simone Ledward, 31, has requested that her husband’s estate be divided equally between her and her in-laws, Leroy and Carolyn.
The estate will give $1.15 million to Simone Ledward, who handled the estate settlement, and an equal sum to the late husband’s parents.

Boseman’s estate was estimated to be worth $3,881,758 in its entirety before the various fees.
After being diagnosed with stage three colon cancer in 2016, which later advanced to stage four, Chadwick fought a private four-year battle before passing away on August 28, 2020.

Close to a year before his death, the Oscar nominee and Simone married in secret.
The couple were together since 2016, but it wasn’t until the actor’s death that his family revealed that he was married.
According to his family, Boseman ‘died in his home, with his wife and family by his side.’
