According to reports, Bowie left about half of that $100 million estate to his widow, model Iman.

About a quarter of his estate was left to each of his children, including his son, film director Duncan Jones.

For his remains, the will specified that he be cremated in Bali "in accordance with the Buddhist rituals" there.

Bowie had an interest in Buddhism throughout his life, but the will also said if cremation in Bali wasn't "practical," to still scatter his ashes there.

According to the death certificate filed with the document, he was cremated in New Jersey in early January.
