When Jenni Rivera unexpectedly died in 2012, she left behind an estate estimated at $28 million. A lawsuit filed last year pits her survivors against each other.
When Jenni Rivera died in a plane crash in 2012, she left behind a lasting musical legacy that is still going strong more than a decade later. The self-proclaimed “Diva de la Banda” was a self-made star with a veritable rags-to-riches story. She was a true trailblazer, a U.S.-born woman who took up plenty of space in the male-dominated world of música Mexicana. Rivera also left behind an estate that at one point was estimated at $28 million.
The complaint asserts that the two entities misrepresented ownership of Jenni Rivera’s music, name, image and likeness, and had raked in millions in profit — money that should have gone to the estate. A lawyer representing the companies owned by Pedro Rivera tried to get the lawsuit dismissed in February, but U.S. District Judge Stanley Blumenfeld Jr. ruled that the case can continue. The two sides are expected to go to trial next year.
