Anthony Bourdain's Will Has Been Read

Anthony Bourdain left the bulk of his $1.21 million estate to his 11-year-old daughter Ariane, according to Manhattan Surrogate Court documents obtained by the New York Daily News.  Anthony Bourdain, chef and author, had $425,000 in savings and cash at the time of his death.  He also had $35,000 in brokerage funds, $250,000 in personal property and another $500,000 in "intangible property including royalties and residuals."  Mr. Bourdain chose his estranged wife Octtavia Busia-Bourdain as the guardian of the estate while Ariane is a minor.  He also left his ex all of his "personal and household effects."  If Ariane were to die, her father's estate would be passed on to her nanny Myra Quizon.  Anthony killed himself in his hotel room in June.
