Rock legend David Bowie wanted his ashes scattered in Bali “in accordance with the Buddhist rituals,” and he left most of his estate to his two children and his widow, the model Iman, according to his will filed Friday in Manhattan. The 20-page document, filed under his legal name David Robert Jones, said the estate was worth about $100 million, but it didn’t break down the finances. The singer left the So-Ho home he shared with Iman to her, and half of the rest of his worth. His son Duncan Jones from a previous marriage received 25 percent and his daughter Alexandria received 25 percent as well as his Ulster County mountain home. Bowie left $2 million to his longtime personal assistant Corinne Schwab and left her shares he owned in a company called Opossum Inc. He left $1 million to Marion Skene, Alexandria’s nanny. The singer, 69, whose hits included “Space Oddity,” “Golden Years,” “Heroes” and “Let’s Dance,” died Jan. 10 about 18 months after he received a cancer diagnosis. Bowie prepared the will in 2004. He said if cremation in Bali was “not practical” then he wanted his remains cremated and his ashes scattered there. According to the death certificate, filed with the will, his body was cremated Jan. 12 in New Jersey.
