It is believed that Tina Turner’s husband Erwin Bach, a German record industry executive, is the major inheritor of the singer’s $250 million estate. Bach and Turner first met in 1985 when Bach picked the “Proud Mary” singer up from the airport while she was on tour. The two hit it off, and began a relationship that lasted the rest of Turner’s life. Though Bach proposed to Turner as early as 1989, the pair remained unmarried until 2013. They did, however, cohabitate at their sprawling home in Zurich from relatively early in their relationship. Bach himself has also been incredibly successful in the music industry independent of his famous wife, with outlets such as Sportskeeda reporting that he was worth $50 million in his own right prior to Turner’s death.

By all available accounts, the bond between Turner and Bach was apparently true love. In 2016, Bach gave his wife, whose health was failing, one of his kidneys. Turner later wrote that her husband “shocked me by saying that he wanted to give me one of his kidneys,” adding that she was “overwhelmed by the enormity of his offer” (via the Associated Press).
