Well, he had worked a lot of minutes.
Legendary “60 Minutes” newsman Mike Wallace left behind an impressive $21 million fortune when he died, court papers show.
Wallace, a fixture on the news magazine for 38 years, died in April at the age of 93.
He left behind a wife, a son and three stepchildren.
Wallace’s left most everything to his widow, Mary – but she died earlier this month, before his will was submitted in court. Mary was Wallace’s fourth wife, and they’ve been married for 25 years.
That means the vast majority of his estate will now be divvied up in trusts between the four “children,” including Fox News anchor Chris Wallace, and their children.
All of Wallace’s “notes, scripts, files, journals, logs, manuscripts (whether in progress or completed), audio and video tapes, movies, photographs, honors, diplomas, awards and all intellectual property rights and interests relating to my professional career” were left to hiss alma mater, the University of Michigan.
