Amy Winehouse was worth just £2million when she died, it is being reported.

The 27-year-old singer was found dead in her London home in July after a long battle with drugs and alcohol.

But her net worth has now been revealed, raising questions as to what happened to her fortune.

Annual accounts for her two companies were published yesterday.

Cherry Westfield was worth £2,004,963 as of last November and her other company CW Touring only had assets of £8,032.

The Back to Black singer was on the Sunday Times Rich List back in 2008 with a fortune of £10million.

But by 2009 that number had dwindled down to £5million and now down to £2million.

Amy reportedly was very generous with friend and associates and led an excessive lifestyle.

She had made her money through her album sales around the world and fees for performances. But as she battled her addictions opportunities for the late singer were not as forthcoming.

Her parents Mitch, 60, and Janis, 56, were allegedly handed responsibility of Amy's fortune back in 2009 when she flew to St. Lucia to try and get over her addictions.

I believe in "easy come, easy go", but spending £8m in less than 4 years on a "lifestyle" that seemed not to include significant assets is beyond my comprehension .....

In celebrity terms it maybe doesn't sound a lot but it is the nett figure after all other necessary deductions from her estate.

She because of her addictions lived a costly lifestyle for which the medical help and other costs would eat into her wealth.
She was also though I understand a very generous person too so has likely helped loads of others too.

Very sad for somone so young,who likely had even more potential.

I'm a bit shocked that given her Global Success, 'record album sales etc' - that £2m, that was it. Wouldn't even buy a half decent house in some areas.

On the back of such heavy spending since, £8m spent in 3 years, leaving only £2m, if Amy would have stayed alive - she'd have been a bankrupt, probably losing her house and all else.

It's fine saying she was a generous soul: but come on. Hell of a price to pay for having a bit of fun....... it cost her her life. no matter which way you look at it: death is a hefty price to pay for having some fun.

That is enlightening,she likely would have had nothing in a short while longer on those figures.

My thought ...if I am very honest.... is that if she would have continued to spent the way she was doing - god forbid, but would her last years have been spent losing her home, squatting at friends houses (and I don't mean the more affluent, nicer, head firmly placed on shoulder, friends), trying to scratch a living in down beat skanky clubs etc. for all I hated seeing what she did with her life: I'd never wish that type of downward spirral on anyone. She looked hellish with all the trapping of success and financial comfort, what would the impact have been if she'd continued on that same path (and hadnt' died suddenly).

In a terribly warped way: it may be have been for the best that things ended the way the did.

The late British singer was married to Blake Fielder-Civil from 2007 to 2009. Their relationship was marred by drug addiction, with Blake spending the majority of their marriage in prison for assault and perverting the cause of justice.

It’s previously been claimed Amy bankrolled their life together, paying for their drugs and their evenings out. New allegations have now surfaced that Blake even asked Amy to give him cash when she wanted affection.

“He'd charge her £150 just to kiss him and get near him. They'd be sitting, having a couple of drinks and she'd be trying to snuggle up to him. She'd say, 'Give me a kiss, sailor,’” a source told British newspaper The Sun.

“He'd go, '****** off, Give me some money then' - and she'd go, 'Blake, Blake.’”

Amy would also reportedly pay for them to travel around, splashing out as much as £150 for taxis.

What a sad pair of losers .....

The details of Amy Winehouse's final hours will be revealed at an inquest into her death today.

The 27-year-old Back To Black star was found dead at her flat in Camden, north London, on July 23.

An initial post-mortem examination proved inconclusive and no cause of death was given when the inquest was opened and adjourned in August.

But because of Winehouse's very public battles with drink and drugs, news of her death was quickly followed by suggestions it could be related to one or the other.

A family statement at the time said: 'Toxicology results returned to the Winehouse family by authorities have confirmed that there were no illegal substances in Amy's system at the time of her death

'Results indicate that alcohol was present but it cannot be determined as yet if it played a role in her death.

'The family would like to thank the police and coroner for their continuing thorough investigations and for keeping them informed throughout the process. They await the outcome of the inquest in October.'

Information relating to today's inquest was sent to the wrong address, police admitted yesterday.

It was later handed into a police station in north London.

At Winehouse's funeral on July 26, her father, Mitch, told mourners his daughter had been the happiest she had been in a long time in the weeks before her death.

He said Winehouse had 'conquered' her drug addiction and was 'trying hard to deal with her drinking'.

A coroner has recorded a verdict of misadventure at the inquest into the death of singer Amy Winehouse.

The 27-year-old was found dead at her home in Camden, north London, on 23 July following years of alcohol and drug addiction.

Three empty vodka bottles, two large and one small, were found at her flat, St Pancras Coroners Court heard.

The inquest heard the singer had 416mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood. The legal drink-drive limit is 80mg.

The family of singer Amy Winehouse have said they are "taking advice" following news that the coroner who oversaw her inquest has resigned.

Camden Council has confirmed that Suzanne Greenaway had stood down because she had not been a lawyer in the UK for the required five years.

The council said she had been appointed "in error" by her husband Andrew Reid, the coroner for inner north London.

Ms Greenaway ruled that Winehouse, 27, died from accidental alcohol poisoning.

She returned a verdict of misadventure.

In a statement, Winehouse's relatives said: "The Winehouse family is taking advice on the implications of this and will decide if any further discussion with the authorities is needed."

Ms Greenaway qualified in Australia in 1999 in September and was a member of the Supreme Court there but she had not worked as a lawyer for the required time in the UK, a Camden Council spokesman said.

The spokesman added that the Winehouse inquest verdict remained legal and would only be judged illegal if it was challenged and subsequently overturned by the High Court.

How can any of her verdicts be legal if she wasn't qualified for the job and had been appointed by her husband ?
