When Paul Walker died, he left a lot behind — including all of the money he earned from his career in the film industry. According to People, Walker left behind a hefty sum of $25 million to his daughter, Meadow Walker. Celebrity Net Worth reports that Paul made the majority of his fortune from his role in the famous “Fast & Furious” films. And if he didn’t die in the tragic car accident? He likely would have earned an estimated $30-$80 million in his career. People also noted that Walker’s father served as the executor of his son’s will, and he had requested that Paul’s mother, Cheryl Walker, be named Meadow’s legal guardian instead of her mother, Rebecca Soteros. Paul’s father also asked the courts to allow Cheryl to be in charge of Meadow’s inheritance.

In addition to the money she received from her father, Meadow also got a big payout from Roger Rodas — the man who was driving the Porsche when it crashed and killed Paul. E! News reports that Rodas’ estate shelled out $10.1 million to Meadow. “The amount paid by the estate of Roger Rodas into a trust for Meadow Walker only covers a fraction of what her father would have earned as an international movie star had his life not tragically been cut short,” Meadow’s lawyer, Jeffrey Milam, said. “Through his estate, Mr. Rodas, the driver of the car, took partial responsibility for the crash.” Who knew?
