Eddie Jordan's family will not be leaving home after the star's death last week. The fortune is estimated to be more than 4 billion.
Eddie Jordan died last Thursday after a short battle with aggressive cancer. He leaves a billion-dollar fortune to his wife and four children.
This is reported by the Daily Mail .
According to the newspaper's information, the former Formula 1 team owner was worth a staggering 463 million British pounds, which is equivalent to 4.1 billion Danish kroner.
Back in December, Jordan himself revealed that the pounds were falling off him because he had been diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer that had spread to his back.
The Irish icon worked until the end, however. As recently as a month before his death, Jordan appeared on the Formula 1 podcast that he founded with another Formula 1 celebrity – David Coulthard.
Leaves a fortune of more than 4 billion kroner to the family
And a long working life in and around Formula 1 has paid off. At least Jordan's private finances were abundant when he passed away in South Africa on Thursday last week.
It was also on motorsport that his fortune was founded. And this even though Jordan never got to race in Formula 1 himself. In 1991, however, he made serious plans for a team in the premier class of motorsport.
Something he only withdrew from again 14 years later, when Jordan Grand Prix became Miland. The team that Jordan got into Formula 1 is now called Aston Martin.
When Jordan sold his Formula 1 team in 2005, he personally made £40 million from the deal. Money he used to buy one of the world's largest yachts just nine years later. "Blush," as the boat is called, cost him £32 million.
Later, Jordan also got a piece of the pie when Aston Martin signed Formula 1 designer Adrian Newey. The move from Red Bull itself was worth £20 million.
Jordan wasn't the only one in and around Formula 1 with solid finances, however. As recently as this year, Aston Martin had to deny that it had tried to lure Max Verstappen into the fold.
The rumor that the car brand is ready to pay Verstappen a whopping 9 billion kroner to switch, however, will not work. Read more about it here .
