Before fatal helicopter crash, singer Oliver Tree revealed family wouldn't get his money
Oliver Tree was one of six people to die in a fiery helicopter crash in Brazil on Sunday, and before his death, the “Life Goes On” singer revealed his family won’t receive any of his wealth. Tree was only 32 years old when he died in the crash along with six other people. “The investigation is ongoing at the 42nd Police Precinct. A forensic examination was conducted at the scene, and agents are awaiting the report from the Center for Investigation and Prevention of Aeronautical Accidents,” the Civil Police of the State of Rio de Janeiro told People . “The bodies of the six victims will undergo forensic examination for identification, which will be compared to data in the records of the Air Operations Center.” Less than two months before his death, Tree appeared on the “Zach Sang Show” dressed as Shrek and explained that after he passed, none of his money would go to his family. “I take no credit for anything I’ve ever done,” he explained. “Furthermore, I don't believe that any of the wealth or the things that get made from it is mine. My will is set up that when I pass, my family, no one's going to get a penny.” He continued, “If I have a wife or kids, or anything, not getting a f---ing penny. I’ll get my kids through college, that’s the agreement, but they’re not gonna be a silver spoon, taken care of ‘because my dad worked on some stuff in the 2000s.’” Instead, Tree set up a foundation called Dr. Oliver Tree’s Art Grants for Baby Geniuses to give his money to after he passed. “It's set up so that basically the interest generated from my music will take mostly that, but there's also room for other money because when I die, my art will continue to have residuals and probably be worth more than it is now,” he said. “That’s when people appreciate you, when you’re not there anymore.” Rest in peace, Oliver.
