Sean Ono Lennon has revealed details about his father’s fortune and shared some family secrets.
The musician took to X to address the false claims about his family. He wrote about his mother:
“I really don’t know what people expect from me when they insult my mother. The mind boggles.”
A user replied to Sean by telling him to give his brother Julian his ‘fair inheritance.’ Sean replied:
“We literally have the exact same trust. You’re a moron.”
The same user then wrote a statement he read on the Internet. The statement said:
“‘Julian was excluded from his father’s will. However, a trust of £100,000 was created by his father to be shared between Julian and his half-brother, Sean. Julian sued his father’s estate and in 1996 reached a settlement agreement, authorised by Lennon’s widow, Yoko Ono, reportedly worth £20 million.’ I stand corrected my apologies.”
In response, Sean revealed that the trusts were not made public:
“Nope. You know nothing. The trusts we were given were not public. You’re just a moron who believes what he reads.”
Julian Had To Buy His Own Belongings
At the time of his death, John Lennon was worth about $200 million, which today would be around $800 million adjusted for inflation. He was married to Yoko Ono, who inherited most of his wealth along with Sean.
After John passed away, Yoko took control of his estate. There, Sean also received a significant share. Julian reportedly inherited $66,729 and received $100 in weekly royalty payments from the estate.
However, Julian had to use much of this settlement money to buy back personal items belonging to his father from auctions. He mentioned on The Dini Petty Show in 1999 that he even had to purchase back the letters he had written to his father.
And in the recent posts, Sean clarified that not everything written on the Internet about them is true.
