Vivienne Westwood left staggering amount in will to third husband, two sons and mystery charities

FASHION designer Vivienne Westwood left her family and good causes a £20.5million fortune, documents reveal.

Dame Vivienne, dubbed the godmother of punk, split her estate among third husband Andreas Kronthaler, her two sons from previous relationships, and charities.

The designer, who dressed the Sex Pistols, died in December 2022 aged 81.

She lived with Kronthaler, 58, in a mansion near Clapham Common, South London.

Son Ben, 60, a photographer and erotic artist, was born during her brief marriage to Hoover engineer Derek Westwood.

She had Joseph, 56, co-founder of lingerie brand Agent Provocateur, with punk promoter Malcolm McLaren.

The good causes are not named but she backed climate change activism and civil rights.

A fashion source said: “Dame Vivienne amassed a huge fortune and gave quite a lot of it away before she died.

“She was ill for a time before she passed so had everything in order.

“And, for her, family came first – and this is shown in her will.

“But Dame Vivienne also had strong beliefs and so she wanted some of her earnings to go towards charities that she supported.”

After her death was announced, husband Andreas said: “I will continue with Vivienne in my heart.”
