Mary Austin, who was the former fiancee of the Queen frontman, is set to make an extra £187.5million after the band made a record-breaking deal to sell off their back catalogue.
Freddie Mercury's 'wife', Mary Austin, is poised to receive another substantial payout from the late star, potentially making her one of Britain's wealthiest women.
Reports suggest that Mary has minimal contact with the remaining band members, despite all of them being trustees of the Mercury Phoenix Trust, established in Freddie's memory. This latest addition to her wealth could potentially place Mary among the Top 100 richest women in Britain. Top showbiz news Mary, who was lovingly referred to as his 'common-law wife' by Freddie, shared: "The house has such love and warmth in every room. It has been a joy to live in and I have many wonderful memories here."
She stood by Freddie through the agonising last moments of his life, a time during which she recalls he ceased taking medication. "The only friend I've got is Mary, and I don't want anybody else. To me, she was my common-law wife. To me, it was a marriage. We believe in each other. That's enough for me. I couldn't fall in love with a man the same way as I have with Mary."
