Aretha Fraknlin's Cash Stolen Before Her Death

The talented songstress who is one of the most successful music acts however had some of her assets stolen prior to her death.

Weeks after Aretha Franklin’s death, an auction house on September 7, 2018, announced the sale of more than 30 dresses worn by the Queen of Soul. Julien’s Auctions said the outfits would go on sale along with items from other musical icons on November 9 and 10 in New York.<br />KEVIN WINTER / GETTY IMAGES NORTH AMERICA / AFP
It is learnt that a criminal probe has been launched into someone inappropriately using her funds although it is unclear how much has gone missing. We also gather that a report was filed last June.
Franklin’s finances have been under the microscope following her death as the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is hounding her estate, claiming she owes more than N2,301,516,000 ($6.3 million) in back taxes.
Franklin is being dogged over legal bills but we are quite sure that wasn’t what she had in mind when she famously sang, “I’m about to give you all of my money.”
