Joan Rivers left a $150 million fortune which will all go to her daughter Melissa, grandson Cooper... and her dogs


Best friends: Joan Rivers' goddaughter Tracie Hotchner wrote: 'How could you not love a woman who, when push came to shove, called her doggies her best friends and in later years said they were better companions than a husband because 'They didn¿t leave the seat up!'

Joan Rivers earned a fortune from her QVC business and non-stop, stand-up performances - and it's all going to her only daughter Melissa, the grandson she 'worshiped' - as well as her pet dogs. The outspoken star, who died at age 81 last Thursday, is believed to have amassed a $150 million fortune, earning $40 million a year - and reportedly raked in over $1 billion in sales of clothing and jewelry in her partnership with home shopping network QVC over the last 24 years.

Her lavish apartment on Manhattan's Upper East side - bought through a family trust - was recently valued at $35 million. And, as Joan publicly stated, everything goes to Melissa Rivers.

However, the comedienne's goddaughter Tracie Hotchner has revealed that Joan also left  'clear provision' for her rescue dogs, Samantha and Teegan, who lived with her in New York, as well as a Jack Russell Terrier and a Border Collie in California.
