Serif Konjevic Signs Fortune to Wife, Mother to Care Home
The folk veteran reveals he transferred all his property and millions to his wife Kanita, 20 years his junior, while placing his mother in a care home in Kljuc with his siblings' consent.
- Serif Konjevic says he has signed over his entire estate, worth millions, to his wife Kanita.
- Kanita is 20 years younger than the singer, rarely appears in public, and the couple live in Sarajevo with their son.
- He placed his mother in a care home in Kljuc with the consent of his siblings and his mother herself.
- The confession was published on June 29, 2026 and spread quickly across entertainment outlets.
Serif Konjevic revealed in a new interview that he has signed over his entire estate, valued in the millions, to his wife Kanita. The statement spread across entertainment portals on June 29, 2026, and set off a wave of comments.
The singer made no secret of his reasoning. “Everything I have earned in my life I have signed over to her. She has earned it,” he said, adding that he loves her more than anyone in the world and that material things were never his priority.
Kanita is his second wife and, as he puts it, the person he trusts most. She is about two decades younger than him, rarely appears in public, and avoids the spotlight. The couple live in Sarajevo, where they are raising their son, and Konjevic has often said that family is his only real wealth.
Why did he place his mother in a care home?
The part of the confession that divided the public most concerns his mother. Konjevic said she now lives in a care home in Kljuc, but insisted the decision was not made out of neglect, rather as an agreement reached by the whole family.
“Despite all the women I hired and paid well to look after her, my mother is in a home today,” the singer explained. He said the decision was made together with his brothers and sisters, and with his mother’s own consent.
According to him, the live-in carers eventually left because of their own obligations, while his mother needed constant care. At the home, he says, she receives round-the-clock attention, accommodation, and medical support in one place. The singer maintains that she is content and well looked after, and that this was precisely the reason behind the move.
The story carried extra weight because Konjevic has a reputation for blunt talk and for shrugging off criticism, especially from Bosnian media. He has noted, off the record, that he does not mind being called rough, because that is simply who he has always been.
A warm confession or a fresh controversy?
The entertainment public was quick to split. Some see the property handover as a gesture of trust toward his wife after decades together, and proof that the singer is serious about his family’s future. Others fixed on the detail about his mother and the care home, and the comment threads ran in both directions.
Konjevic, for his part, appears unbothered. He has been on stage for decades, has weathered both triumphs and scandals, and is used to being judged by people who do not know him. This time he opened the subject himself, which made the reaction faster and louder than usual.
What is certain is that the singer has drawn a clear line. The property goes to his wife, his mother’s care is entrusted to the home, and a family agreement, he insists, stands behind each of those decisions.
Do you see signing over an entire fortune to a spouse as a sign of trust or a risk, and what do you make of the decision to place a parent in a care home?
