[Hadid] bequeathed a lump sum of £500,000 to her business partner Patrik Schumacher. Hadid also left a total of £1.7m to four nieces and nephews, as well as her brother Haytham Hadid, whose share was £500,000 [...] Her will, obtained by the Architects’ Journal, shows that the net value of her estate was £67,249,458. The calculation was filed in the high court dated 14 December 2016 [...] The will shows Hadid is leaving her architecture practice, of which she was the sole owner, in trust. — The Guardian

that's around $81 million US dollars. one accumulates a lot of wealth when they don't have to pay people to work for them.
^let's not forget the slaves that actually got some of her firm's projects built too.
Curious as to how much she started with.
good call NS.
.
Wait. She also designed shoes, furniture and other products. Plus if I recall she likely had some family money too. $81 million, never bankrupt, unlike FLLW, PE, we should give her credit for that.
$500k to Patrimetric? That should go along way to cryogenic preservation of his head.
Ugh, jla-x, that whole Louis CK routine is SO GOOD! I need to watch it again. So accurate.
That practice should just go away. Zaha left a decent body of work, what is wrong with that being your legacy? do you really need to fund your practice for 5000 years into the future to be run by a grade A ninny asshole? That money should just get divided up equally to anybody that worked under that maniacal freak and they should dissolve the firm. Or here is a novel idea - give some money to charity....
via wiki on her father - Hadid was born into a rich Mosulite family[2] at the beginning of the 20th century. He was born and raised in Nazareth, in Palestine. There he met and married Wajeeha Sabonji, with whom he had three children; Haithem, Fulath, and Zaha.[3].......from some other website - (Zaha) Born in Baghdad into a wealthy family, she received a luxurious upbringing and attended boarding schools in England and Switzerland. Even as a young girl there was no doubt in her mind that she would one day pursue a professional career.....can't even leave her alone after she passes?
"Hadid gave her executors powers to distribute all or some of the income from her several businesses, including the practice, to a wide range of parties. They include “past, current and future employees and office holders of the companies”, and the Zaha Hadid Foundation, which was set up to promote architectural education and exhibitions of Hadid’s work. Others who could benefit are family members and charities."
How about we all admit that we're wrong.
Read Andrew Carnegie - Gospel of Wealth. I'll leave it at that.
Maybe Patrik will use the $500k to advance his Utopian vision.
