- For a certain generation of moviegoers, there's no bigger name in Westerns and war movies than John Wayne. From the late 1930s until his final film in 1976, Wayne was a massive box office draw. By the time of his death in 1979, the actor had won an Academy Award for his performance in the 1969 film "True Grit" and amassed a $7 million net worth.
Wayne also had three wives, seven children and lots of grandchildren. So who ended up with his fortune? And perhaps more interestingly, who didn't get anything? Here's who inherited John Wayne's money after he died.

John Wayne did not leave me anything but great movie memories
I was on the bus next to armidale airport on my way home from school and it came on the radio. I could cry then without showing it but I did cry. John Wayne was gone.
Was sitting in my van at the time having lunch break. When it came on the radio that John Wayne was dead i shed a tear. Watched John Wayne moves mybe a million times. Chisum, undefeated, Eldorado, Rio Lobo, Rio Bravo, Son of Katie Alder, The Quite Man, Tall in The saddle, just to name a few. RIP. John Wayne.
I grew up with John Wayne on the big screen. He personified what most of us boys wanted to be like. At 82yrs - he is still the man…
The Quiet Man, a classic!❤️
I love all of John Wayne's westerns
Rio Bravo
My favourite John Wayne movies are every single one of them.
I loved John Wayne and all of his movies. 🙃
He should have won the Oscar for Sands of Iwo Jima-
Sgt.Striker-
I was impressed, I was a kid too-saw it at home growing up.
I even liked Hatari!
Well agreed. But I wouldn't take no notice of these Oscars. There only a Joke and especially nowadays.
I have to say all of his are my favorite. His A and B movies. Angel and the Badman is at the top of the list
As Richard Pryor mentioned in his stand up comedian roles, you can't defeat death unless you're John Wayne. As he faced lung cancer, he was like, "Get the f**k out, death!" in his own voice of course.
He also owned the Deer Creek Ranch and Tall Timber Ranch located in Selma, Oregon. I used to feed his big mare named Big Red blackberries, I lived across Deer Creek on property adjacent to Deer Creek Ranch at base of Eight Dollar Mountain.
John Wayne great action hero!

Well Grunge you did a decent job. A little thin here & there. Wayne had applied to the US Naval Academy at Annapolis. Acceptance rate is about 6% . He was not accepted. He did get into USC, football payed for it. Then surfing, he broke his collarbone. Lost the scholarship, no school. That is how he wound up working as a prop man. Wayne made fifteen movies during the WWII years. He volunteered for the Office of Strategic Services, forerunner to the now CIA. The studios fought him tooth & nail on enlisting & his then wife hid a return letter from the OSS from him, while he was making one movie after another for the War effort mostly. You cannot say he was never shot at, one of his Wives took a shot at him. Also Stalin, sent a hitman to kill him, the FBI set up a meeting to nab the assassin as a trap. Wayne drew a gun on the guy as soon as he entered Waynes room. Then the FBI arrested him, the assassin, not Wayne. All in all a rewarding life !
John Wynne got the name Duke from a dog he had wen he was yung
John Wayne is my favorite actor. But my favorite movie he made was Brandon.
Well, you're missing two significant matters, Duke, while almost literally on his deathbed, was visited by just one son, without notice to anyone else. It could have been questioned whether Duke even had the capacity at that point to know what he was being asked to sign:( but in any event, the single son emerged with executed documents giving him sole ownership of the enterprise, and exclusive rights to all of the films produced by Duke's production company, which in truth, far exceeded the value of the various trusts received by the rest of the immediate family. The " all for one, and I"M THE ONE" aspect of the event lead to some serious fall out amongst the family members which I'm not sure has ever faded.
How about one of his daughters running the John Wayne Foundation for Cancer.
Also sad to read your post… this stuff seems to happen world wide in families….. however I wonder if we really know all the details.

Wayne also survived major heart surgery in addition to significant cancer. Tough to kill !

When I was 13 I moved to Winterset Iowa. John Wayne's house that he was born in was just a couple blocks outside of town. The first girlfriend I had after I moved up there I lost my virginity to on the front porch of that house. The Duke would have been proud but then again he may not have been but either way after 27 years I'm still proud of it.😬😜
Weirdo
Says the one that has a fascination with Hulk Hogan's tights🤷

When he was young he looked like a old man!

I've been a John Wayne fan for as long as I can remember...
Had a chance encounter on the road during the filming of The Green Berets. Filmed in the summer of '67, in and around Fort Benning Military Training Center at Fort Benning, Georgia, near Columbus, GA. where our family lives, we passed a Military Police car with John, his son Pat, along with driver and another MP travelling through the base. I was 12 years old at the time and was thrilled when he waved at us as we passed by.
A true legend...
🪶🪶🪶
I’m sure it was gay American institutions
Great actor BUT WAS A Draft Dodger go figure 🇺🇲🇺🇲🪖 DAV army 6 years
John Wayne has a history of racism to but this video won't touch that with a 10 foot pole
“I believe in white supremacy,” he said, and spoke harshly about African Americans, saying, “We can’t all of a sudden get down on our knees and turn everything over to the leadership of the blacks.”
“I don’t believe in giving authority and positions of leadership and judgment to irresponsible people,” he said.
Of slavery, he said that he didn’t feel any guilt about the U.S. history.
“I don’t feel guilty about the fact that five or 10 generations ago these people were slaves,” he said. “Now, I’m not condoning slavery. It’s just a fact of life, like the kid who gets infantile paralysis and has to wear braces so he can’t play football with the rest of us.”
What he said is harsh but true
