Terry Wogan's wife Lady Helen leaves huge fortune after her death aged 88 - nine years after BBC broadcasting legend
Sir Terry Wogan's wife Lady Helen has left a massive fortune almost five times more than that passed on by her husband. The former top model died last year aged 88 and the total amount of money she bequeathed to her sons and daughter has now been revealed. Documents signed off by the High Court last week show Lady Wogan left £4,948,334 - but this was reduced by £31,000 to £4,917,989 following the removal of costs and fees, The Sun reports. Lady Wogan left tax-free gifts to two of her children - £850,000 to Alan Wogan, named as an executor on the estate, and £750,000 to Katherine. The remainder of the money and her possessions were split between all three living children, including son Mark. A £100,000 trust was also set up for each of Lady Wogan's grandchildren, to be made available to them when they turn 25. It comes after she had signed her final will in February 2023 - seven years after her husband had died in 2016 aged 77. Sir Terry, thought to be worth £20million at the height of his career, passed on £1million in his estate. He left behind his wife of more than 50 years following his death from cancer. After Lady Wogan's death, the pair's son Mark paid tribute to a 'beautiful' mother and grandmother as he announced her passing. He wrote: 'Our beautiful Mum left us last night after a fantastic life. From a young Irish rose to Lady Wogan , she was the epitome of style and grace. 'A Mother, Grandmother and Wife, with love and kindness at her core. A strength and a belief that saw her through many of life's trials. 'A sense of humour and a turn of phrase that would have you in fits of laughter. 'A proper lady in every sense of the word. Her and Dad are hopefully sharing a vodka martini and hoping we don't make too much of fuss. We love you Mum, now and forever.' Lady Helen was a top Irish model in the 1960s born in a Dublin suburb and she met her husband while he was an up-and-coming star on Irish radio. Between 1993 and his semi-retirement in December 2009, Sir Terry's BBC Radio 2 breakfast show drew in an average of eight million listeners. Following his death, the BBC renamed Radio 2's studios Wogan House as a mark of respect.
