A victim of the Titan bathyscaphe disaster, Pakistani billionaire Shahzada Dawood died without leaving a will in the UK, so his British wife Christina received less than ?100,000. Mail Online writes about this.

48-year-old Shahzada Dawood and his 19-year-old son Suleiman died during the descent of a submersible to the Titanic in the summer of 2023. Also killed during the descent to the Titanic were OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, French navy veteran Paul-Henri Narjolet, and British billionaire extreme sportsman Hamish Harding..

His family is one of the richest in Pakistan but has strong ties to Britain. Shahzada lived in a mansion in Surbiton, Surrey, with his wife Christina and two children. But because the millionaire worked in Pakistan, his fortune remained outside Britain.

Dawood's personal wealth was estimated at approximately? 285 million, but the entire family business in Karachi has a turnover of? 1.3 billion per year and billions more in assets.

But because the millionaire died intestate in the UK, the executor of the estate, who is usually the closest blood relative, was given letters of administration of the estate. Dawood's ?76,958 British inheritance was given to his wife, who works as a life coach and psychologist..

At the same time, the official representative of the Dawood family said that after the tragic loss of her husband and son, the widow has the full support of the family, and the details of the right to inheritance remain her deeply private matter..

Let us remind you that Christina Dawood gave up her place on the bathyscaphe to her son. Initially, it was she who planned to dive to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean with her husband.

The son of the Pakistani-British billionaire himself did not want this trip and agreed only to please Shahzada on Father’s Day.
