Singer Sinéad O’Connor, one of the biggest global pop stars of the last three decades, died on July 26 at the age of 56. The news shocked the world.
She published ten albums and, among the many of her most resonant conquests, is the cover of Nothing compares 2 U -originally by Prince- that catapulted her to planetary popularity in 1990.
Therefore, media from all over the world have dedicated these days not only to deciphering its undoubted artistic and creative heritage: they have also inquired into its economic wealth and its more material heritage.

According to People with money magazine, the Irish woman was one of the highest-paid artists in the world and had earned $46 million between June 2022 and June 2023. All of this would be inherited by her descendants. Despite this, these are amounts surrounded by some confusion: despite being bulky figures, the same interpreter since 2017 declared liquidity problems and financial precariousness.
In that same 2017 he tried to sell his mansion in Dublin for a million dollars, and was living in a motel in New Jersey, according to various international media. In fact, she O’Connor paid between 70 and 80 dollars to stay in said venue, far from all glamor and without great luxuries.
In 2021, the Irish Daily Mail published that the voice of Mandinka had a net worth of five million dollars, while information from Celebrity Net Worth contrasted the data and postulated that, when she died, the artist only had a wealth of $500,000. Therefore, her economic crisis of recent years was real.

In addition, although Nothing Compares 2 U was his biggest success, O’Connor never received all the benefits of the song, since he had to pay a high percentage to Prince, writer and composer of the song, until 2016, the year in which the American passed away.
On the other hand, thanks to the investments in shares that O’Connor had made, in addition to his participation in properties and sponsorship contracts, such as the one he made with the CoverGirl cosmetics brand, his assets could amount to up to 145 million dollars.
And it is very possible that, with the natural attention that will resurface around his figure after his death, his earnings from streaming and even album sales may increase. Therefore, his estate could become a bit more substantial over the course of recent years.
On the other hand, who will receive such an inheritance? O’Connor was the mother of four children. Jake is the oldest, she had it with the musician and music producer John Reynolds and today he is 36 years old.
Both were paired at the end of the 80s, when the interpreter was recording her first album. Because she became pregnant, record label executives suggested an abortion: waiting for a child would ruin her potential rise to fame and her total dedication to her career. Of course, O’Connor ignored them and Jake arrived just the same. It was one of the most unpresentable attitudes that she had to deal with on her way to consecration.
Today, the young man works as a chef and together with his partner Lia he fathered a child in 2015. Around that time, O’Connor shared the news that she had been a grandmother.
The singer also had three other children from relationships that did not last. She had a rough and chaotic relationship with these couples, as she came to lose custody of her due to the various problems she was dealing with.
Their second daughter, Róisín Waters, was born from their relationship with John Waters, a columnist for The Irish Times. She is currently 27 years old and she is also dedicated to cooking although, as her mother once recounted, her world is pastry.
Shane was born in 2004, the son of Donal Lunny, an Irish folk musician and producer. Her death in January 2022 was what knocked the artist down with almost no return and what in the last year made her enter one of the darkest stages of her existence. On social networks, a few months ago, she published lapidary phrases such as “I have decided to follow my son. There is no point in living without it. Everything I touch, I ruin. I only stayed for him. And now he is gone.
He also added: “It was the light of my soul. We were the same soul in two halves. She was the only person who loved me unconditionally.”
Her youngest son, Yeshua Francis Neil, was born in late 2006 from her relationship with American businessman Frank Bonadio. There is no resounding information about the present of him; It is only known that he has also dedicated himself to music, just like his mother. “He is an incredible musician and plays the piano spectacularly. He has a beautiful voice he can do whatever he wants, ”O’Connor stated in 2021.
