Phil Spector, a music producer, coordinated what became known as “the wall of sound” for several girl groups in the 1960s, including The Ronettes, which featured singer Ronnie Spector, Phil’s former wife.

Late in his career, Spector collaborated with the Beatles on their timeless farewell song, “Let it Be,” as well as the brooding Canadian musician Leonard Cohen and the New York punk band the Ramones.

Who inherited Phil Spector’s money?

The enormous song catalog Spector controlled, which included many hits still in use today like “Do Doo Ron Ron” by the Crystals and “You’ve Lost that Loving Feeling” by The Righteous Brothers, allowed his four surviving children to inherit a $50 million fortune after his death.

Spector’s estimated net worth might even be higher given the ongoing popularity of many of the songs he produced. According to The Daily Mail, the Spector song catalog generates tens of millions of dollars in royalties every year.

The castle-like Alhambra residence where Lana Clarkson was killed was another priceless legacy Spector left behind when he passed away. Rachelle Short, Spector’s third and last wife, received that home.

According to the Los Angeles Times, the opulent residence sold in 2021 for $3.3 million, more than $2 million less than the original listing price but almost three times what Spector reportedly paid.
