Shane Warne left behind a sizeable inheritance for his children after his tragic death in 2022. 

Warne’s final will, drafted just months before he died, revealed that the cricketer had amassed an incredible $20.7 million fortune.

His children, Brooke, 28, Jackson, 26, Summer, 23, each inherited just under a third of their father’s assets – about $6.41 million each.

Warne requested his prized $375,500 vehicle collection – including a BMW, Mercedes-Benz and a Yamaha motorbike – to be left to his son and ‘best mate’ Jackson.  

Warne’s estate included $5 million in his Australian bank account, $514,000 in an overseas account, a $6.5 million seaside Melbourne home, close to $3 million in shares, and $2 million in personal belongings including a jet ski.

The athlete had spun his stellar cricketing talent and massive personality into a hugely successful business career after his retirement from the sport in 2007. 

In 2019, he founded a gin distillery named 708 Gin, produced in Western Australia. One of his tipples won the gold medal at the Australian Gin Awards that year.

In August 2020, Warne launched a fragrance called SW23, a mix of his initials and the number he wore playing cricket for Australia. 

He bought, renovated and sold at least five homes in trendy Brighton, Melbourne – in one case buying and selling a mansion twice between 2001 and 2018 and earning $18.8 million.

Another property he bought for $3.7 million in 2007 and sold for $6.7 million two years later, while he made a similar profit on a $7.5 million property, which he sold for $10.8 million four years later.  

Warne also has an apartment in the $540 million dollar Saint Moritz complex in St Kilda, which he is said to have purchased in 2018 for $5.4 million. 

With 93 per cent of his $20,711,013.27 assets going to his three children, the remaining seven per cent was distributed among his brother Jason (two per cent) and his brother’s children, Sebastian and Tyla (two and a half per cent each). 

His ex-wife Simone Callahan, who he was married to for 15 years, was not listed in the will.

It comes after Jackson revealed how his new career move is ‘therapy’ to help him cope with the loss of his father. 

He has launched his new podcast, Warnes Way, and explains how he pays tribute to his dad on set. 

‘We’ve got a studio we’ve set up which is in dad’s old office so it feels like he’s there,’ Jackson told the Herald Sun. 

‘We’ve got all his memorabilia, his book, his ashtray, it’s really special.’

Jackson says that he and his dad had originally planned to do a father-and-son podcast together back in 2018, but it never happened. 

With guests who knew his dad – such as Eddie McGuire and Mark Howard – Jackson says the podcast has served as a means of healing his grief.

‘I’m also treating it as a bit of therapy for me,’ the professional poker player said. 

‘I don’t see a therapist, but when I talk to people like Mark Howard and Eddie McGuire it’s so personal and we talk about stories with dad.’
