Posted September 29, 2009 by Floydian Slip

Rick Wright‘s will recently revealed the Pink Floyd co-founder and keyboardist’s estate was worth £23.7 million when he died last year.

Documents made public yesterday indicate the fortune will mostly be shared among his children James, 42; Gala, 39; and Ben.

None of Wright’s three ex-wives were mentioned in the will.

The U.K.’s Daily Mail also reported Wright set aside £20,000 to throw a “really good party” for his friends. The guest list will be the responsibility of James and Gala.

Sometime Floyd bassist Guy Pratt, who is also married to Gala, will receive Wright’s Bosendorfer piano.

Wright died of cancer at his home in London Sept. 15 of last year. He was 65.
