Lawyer Reveals Ferdi Tayfur’s Real Fortune: 6 Billion Liras
The legacy of Ferdi Tayfur, the legend of Turkish arabesque music, has once again come into focus. His lawyer Hakan Tamgüç revealed that Tayfur’s actual wealth amounts to 6 billion Turkish liras, not 3 billion as previously estimated.
According to Tamgüç, Tayfur owned 87 apartments, an island in Marmaris, and received royalties from over 1,000 songs totaling about 45 million liras annually.
Heirs and Family Conflict
Following Tayfur’s death on January 2, tensions rose within his family, particularly between his daughter Tuğçe Tayfur and other relatives. Disputes even occurred during the funeral ceremony.
Details of the Will
The will stated that Tuğçe Tayfur and Timur Tayfur were excluded from inheritance, while most of the fortune was left to three children and seven nephews. Part of his assets was donated to the Turkish Armed Forces, the Darüşşafaka Foundation, and LÖSEV (the Foundation for Children with Leukemia).
