Overview

  • Alain Delon’s estate, valued at up to €50 million, is locked in a succession dispute among his three children, with Anouchka set to receive 50% and her brothers Anthony and Alain-Fabien 25% each.
  • A secret second testament discovered after Delon’s death grants Anouchka exclusive moral rights over his image and works, further straining relations with her brothers.
  • The French tax authority is auditing the estate, with an estimated €22–23 million in succession duties delaying its resolution.
  • The estate includes prominent assets such as the Douchy property in France and apartments in Geneva, with one Swiss property designated for Anouchka and another for the brothers to share.
  • An advance payment of 100,000 Swiss francs was issued to temporarily ease tensions, but the family feud remains unresolved, with potential legal challenges still on the horizon.
