Biggie's Daughter Didn't Inherit $200M. She Got a Quarter.

Biggie's daughter T'yanna Wallace did not inherit $200 million. That was a reported valuation of his estate. Her share comes from a 2023 contract. Want the blueprint behind celebrity wealth? New investigative money documentaries every other day. Subscribe here: 👉 Celebrity Investments: https://www.youtube.com/@Celebrity-Investments?sub_confirmation=1 The $200 million figure comes from a March 2025 Wall Street Journal report on Primary Wave taking a 50% interest in the Notorious B.I.G. estate. The price was never officially disclosed. We went through the Delaware ruling in Barrow v. Evans: in 2023, Voletta Wallace and Faith Evans each handed half of their payouts to Biggie's children, so Voletta, T'yanna, CJ and Evans were each entitled to 25% of the company's distributions. Then, 15 days before she died, Voletta made Wayne Barrow sole trustee. The widow refused to pay the trust, the trust sued, and a judge ruled. Now CJ is challenging the changes in Pennsylvania. Here is who holds what, and what is still unresolved. 📌 CHAPTERS 00:00 Where the $200 million came from 04:03 The 2023 contract behind her quarter 05:58 The trust change 15 days before Voletta died 08:23 The widow refuses to pay the trust 11:45 What the Delaware judge ruled 13:56 CJ's challenge in Pennsylvania 16:38 What T'yanna actually got SOURCES Delaware Court of Chancery, Barrow v.
