The late Cars frontman Ric Ocasek reportedly left more than $5 million in fortune but his estrange wife, Paulina Porizkova, will inherit none of it.

Porizkova, 54, was excluded from Ocasek’s will which he signed weeks before his death on 15 September. The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer cited as reasons their ongoing divorce and because she allegedly abandoned him.

Porizkova has yet to comment on the report.

The two were married in 1989 and had two sons together. They announced their separation in May 2018 though Porizkova said they still lived together.
