Camilo Sesto, who was leaving us on a day like today, but two years ago, left in style. How could it be otherwise, amid applause and with all the affection of his relatives and the public, the artist left us and became a legend of Spanish music. However, when the success is so great, it can have some bittersweet consequences. The singer-songwriter has brought, after his death, a few dilemmas that will have to be resolved. Today we wonder what will happen to the inheritance of Camilo Sesto.
A great fortune for his heirs
As we said at the beginning, the artist sold throughout his entire musical career, more than 175 million records all over the world. This translates into an inheritance valued at 8 million euros. Not to mention that it would also include the amount of 200,000 euros per year (some say semi-annual) for the copyright of the singer’s music. As if all this were not enough, there is still more: mansions and financial assets that belonged to him. To be precise, the Mallorca mansion was sold for 700,000 euros.

The figures make our hair stand on end but, in the case of Camilo Sesto, anyone can expect it. Now, that his inheritance will have to go to the best possible hands, there is a bit of controversy. The latest news that has come to light is that Camilo could have a second child. The son that we all already know, Camilo Blanes or also called ‘Camilín’, is sole heir of all the fortune of Camilo Sr. And, as far as we know, the music legend only had a son with the Mexican Lourdes Ornelas. In case of having a second child, the distribution of the inheritance would change. What a mess, right? An inheritance that, in itself, can cause the occasional discussion, but at this time we do not know what consequences it will bring to the relatives of Camilo Sesto.
What will happen from now?
The will that Camilo Sesto left was very clear: the entire inheritance is for his son Camilín. This means that, far from discussions and controversies in the media, the decision was made before the artist died. Camilo Blanes takes everything that his father has already written for him, for Camilín. The unexpected surprise it arrives when a third person appears on the scene: David Guerra.

Weeks ago, the program ‘Viva la vida’ released the boom of this matter. This person, who never broke with anonymity, now changes all the schemes. David Guerra is 36 years old, he is a taxi driver and, supposedly, had contact with Camilo Blanes. No image has transpired, for the moment, of the presumed new son of Camilo Sesto. He found out in 1997 that he was the singer’s son, but “he did not want to initiate legal proceedings out of respect for his mother Lourdes, who did not want to make it public.” We’ll see what happens next with this heredity ruckus. Will more surprises come to light?
