Do you agree with how his will was handled?

[@leesashriber5097]

Pure greed! He wrote his will and stipulated who gets what. The daughters should be ashamed of themselves.

[@mojavewolf1]

I think his daughters deserve what he made . Johnny was not around a lot and Their Mother raised them alone . Drugs and alcohol . But it’s his will he left . The girls were not being greedy . They loved their Dad . In early years when they were babies , he was a great father . His first wife loved Johnny , even though she married another , all her Life . In my opinion all the children should of got equal . I just watched the documentary about Vivian and the girls . May She RIP

[@chasityleman7932]

I think it’s terrible that out of his fortune that all he left to his daughters! Why is a Son more important?? Shameful!

[@SD-co9xe]

The more I learn about him the less I respect him, What a crappy thing to do. He deserted his family for a time. The four girls deserved more.

[@marthacantrell6953]

@SD-co9xe Unfortunately, I feel the same, and about June, also. There was a lot of pretense about them.

[@thomastommy1192]

John should have taken better care of his daughters. That is sad.

[@graceclark3481]

For God's sake, they got one million! That's plenty. They also didn't take care of Johnny like John Carter did. John Carter was closer with the dad then his daughters

[@thomastommy1192]

@@graceclark3481 Yes one million is a lot. But one hundred million plus is a lot more, lol. How do you know the boy took better care of him? Are you really upset over my post? lol.

[@l.r.933]

It seems as if he was showing favoritism to his son. To be left out by a parent can feel like abandonment. It is unfair to leave children various amounts. I think it is a rotten thing to do.

[@tonyhardy8097]

How much you leaving your 7 kids?

[@debbyhodges1931]

It’s so sad what Johnny Cash did to his first wife. She loved him dearly. June Carter broke up the marriage. She was also married. What does that tell you? He had 4 small daughters that got ignored by their dad. I may be old fashioned but I call it like I see it.

[@patmelton43]

Yes, it is hard not to judge them. I saw the video about Vivian. It was incredibly sad.

[@beedifrnt]

@@patmelton43 Are you aware that Vivian broke up the marriage of her second husband? He was married when they begin seeing each other; he left and divorced his wife for Vivian. So does that make her any better than June?

Awful what he and June did to his first wife! RIP Vivian

So? Are you God?

[@HiLoveLeighs]

A $300 million dollar estate, and the daughters only got a million each? That hurts.

[@maxwell-gn2jn]

Only? They got a lot more then most get.

[@hildahaselnuss620]

It's a difference between what you want and what you get. Barry Gibb of The Bee Gees bought the house for $2.3 million in 2005.

[@liamodriscoll3739]

IN MY OPINION HE SHOULD HAVE DIVIDED IT EQUALLY AMONGST HIS CHILDREN I HAVE CHANGED MY OPINION OF HIM HE WAS NOT THE FAMILY MAN ITHOUGHT HE WAS

[@kimberlycrump6478]

Im thinking the same thing. I dont see him the same way

[@CrixusHeart]

Just watch the documentary about Vivian.

[@hildahaselnuss620]

Why? If he had preferred to leave all his money to charity and none to his children, that would have been fine too. He has the right to dispose of the money he has worked for as he sees fit. His children must take responsibility for their own lives.

[@annavermmaak2649]

John Carter Cash doesn't look like Johny

[@elainemurley9509]

Yes he looks more like him than any of the girls Look at his eyes they r johnnys

[@SD-co9xe]

He looks like June's ex-husband.

[@ValTheGal1960]

He's Lucky.

[@angelagant4504]

At allllll..he doesn't look squat like Johnny

[@MetalGearTenno]

It was Johnnys wealth to do with what he wanted to do or give it to. It’s none of anyone else’s business.

[@beverlybondon7689]

If I was left a million I would be more than happy 😮

[@graceclark3481]

Rich people are so spoiled! They didn't really want to talk to Johnny much in their lifetimes so ... Maybe he gave it all to the son who loved him most

[@barrygiddey9139]

Very interesting video-wasn’t aware of those things!

[@MsCharlieTramp]

Wow, that is a horrible father if that is true. I can not even imagine how psychologically wounded those girls are and the family is broken forever.

[@turnofevent8094]

His son I would believe got the bulk of the estate....

[@mojavewolf1]

So wrong ! The girls definitely should have been out in the Will and given the same thing as John jr . The girls lost their Mother too .

[@chasityleman7932]

Unfortunately your right! Low-down!

[@elainemurley9509]

I do think they all should have gotten equal amounts

[@DebbieT-mh9dy]

I have no respect for Johnny Cash. To leave 4 of his daughters out of his will, with all of his millions! June Carter broke up his first marriage and I don't know what he saw in her. She was not even pretty.. So sad to favor 1 child over the others. How can he be at peace! Imagine how his daughters must feel!

[@chasityleman7932]

Totally agree!! His wife was actually Beautiful! But not wild like June was sooo…… that’s a man for you! 🥴🤦🏻‍♀️

[@schoomzer]

Your opinion about June Carter Cash does not matter to Johnny. He thought she was beautiful. She brought him the most happiness. By the way, if you were able to understand the video, it stated that he left each of his daughters from Vivian 1 million each.

[@daniellereed7195]

His daughters all received 1m$

[@chasityleman7932]

[@AnnBruyere]

[@AlanaMorris-z4o]

Maybe, just maybe he left something to Vivian, too, but most likely not. This is why I despise men who criticize women who don’t have “traditional” views. When they decide to up and leave for another woman, you dissolve and often the kids, too. The new family gets it all, the happy ending, entitlement, wealth, etc while the initial family created has little to no value. Lost a lot of respect for Cash, he caused them a lot of emotional damage. Looks like Karma caught up to him, house burning down and all. Very disappointing outcome for his girls.

[@graceclark3481]

You're a judgemental bitch, and thank God you're not God. Jesus loved Johnny and June!

[@richardhayward2800]

it is his money he can do whatever he wants with it

[@wayneberry8226]

I loved johnny cash....

[@lucciangel6260]

Yup! Me too! I’m gone.

[@wandachapman2403]

June didn’t break up the marriage, Johnny was with women the whole time he was touring so he wasn’t tied to the first wife and he wasn’t made to marry June it was his choice .

[@Inkling777]

Ownership of a music estate is also the control of it. I imagine Johnny Cash gave that to his son because he felt that would result in it being best managed. A good example of how an estate can be mismanaged is the J.R.R. Tolkien estate after the death of Christopher. Those now managing it aren't Tolkien's descendants and the result is Amazon's "Rings of Power," which bears little relation to anything Tolkien wrote or believed.

[@wandachapman2403]

I don’t think everything you hear is true, if the girls lost the law suit then there was a reason and I’m sure June and John made those decisions before she died also !!!! Everyone has an opinion which if you don’t know the whole story you can’t judge the truth of it !!!

[@jenknight269]

June wrote ring of fire 🔥- not Johnny. Watch the documentary titled “June”. 😊

[@livdirrengesuasmatsuoka9843]

Be thankful you got something...

[@elainewallace-e1o]

I'm surprised he left that much money considering how much he'd spent on drugs.

[@Herr2Cents]

Tough details.

[@nataliacastejon3008]

June Carter wrote the first version of the song, which is available on youtube as well as the explanation. She was and will always be a hero and Johnny Cash's angel, just as he was her's. And their legendary and mesmerising legacy is for the world to have forever..

[@CrixusHeart]

Yes That's all well and good but you don't forget about your children emotionally nor physically ($)

[@fearlessmasters6678]

June broke up his marriage and her own - and she was not good looking - she had 0 class and forced her way into his life. I would not give her any credit except gold digger - the truth is not being told.

[@jayz.life.1183]

Even though its wrong... When you hear the actual stories of FAMOUS PEOPLE & you learn their family is as messed as yours.. & sometimes as evil as yours.. It allows you to better understand and either LOVE or HATE the person they truly were..

[@COlson-rh3dg]

I've seen it plenty of times. When someone passes away, everyone starts fighting. Greedy idiots.

[@DustySoulLtd]

He should have paid his first wife more for the pain he caused her and the disrespect that June gave her. And the lie about June saving him from addiction needs to stop because she was a junkie herself and couldn't help him.

[@wandachapman2403]

I always heard that June and Merle wrote Ring of Fire not Johnny, so by rights Johnny cashes first four daughters shouldn’t have received any royalties from that song, they could have been cut out altogether but were blessed he left them each one million , when they say what they’re worth a lot of that is property , museum space not everything is money.

[@Mr.E6969]

Johnny cash never went to prison lol he did a few overnighters in prison but that was it. Fact checking is important Benny boy!

[@JackieHatcher]

The will os one thing and what he gave his children im death..but there ìs another side to the story.do u have any idea how much he gave them while he was alive.and do not think his son would not help his sisters.

[@CrixusHeart]

Without knowing his children's relationship with their half siblings, we don't know that - and he couldn't know that- for sure

[@graceclark3481]

People are stupid. NO. You don't divide the estate equally! You give more money to the children who took care of you, who say at your bedside, who spent more time with you!! Like John Carter!

[@jcdova29]

No doubt his four daughters got the short end of the will. I am pretty sure Johnny took are of them while he was still alive. At least I hope so.

[@carole5788]

Vivian divorced Johnny because he was having an affair with June.

[@peggymciver7489]

And I believe other women also and the drugs

[@willowbee4441]

I believe Johnny Cash left a book of the royalties and the money to his son because he's both fatherless and motherless he has nobody else so Johnny made sure he took care of him.

[@donnawolman150]

Johnny's daughters loved him, especially Rosanne with him till the end. He left his son more; his child with June. His choice!

[@chasityleman7932]

As were his girls. Both fatherless and motherless. It is just low-down what he did to his daughters!!

[@Rageinred]

Who cares. He had more than enough for all seven kids and probably a few he didn’t even know about.
