Halid Beslic Estate: Media Claim 13 Million Euros
A day after the anniversary of his death, regional media list property, a gas station and a company holding his song rights, but no family statement confirms the inheritance.
The claim that Halid Beslic left an estate worth about 13 million euros has resurfaced in regional media a day after the first anniversary of his death. The singer died a year ago at the age of 71, at the Clinical Center of the University of Sarajevo, and a memorial was held on October 7.
No source offers an independent valuation. The figure is attributed to a will in the reports, and the family has not confirmed it in any statement we could quote. Everything below should therefore be read as claims made by the media.
What is on the list of assets?
According to domestic and regional media, the singer’s “property map” includes:
- several properties and an estate near Sarajevo
- a gas station
- an abandoned motel, for which he took out a loan
- the building in a Sarajevo neighborhood where he lived, with a dedicated elevator leading to its entrance
- a villa on the Peljesac peninsula, in the village of Drace
The estimate also covers a company through which he held the rights to his songs and discography, along with streaming revenue that, according to these reports, grew after his death. His son Dino Beslic now lives in the Sarajevo apartment with his family, according to outlets that visited the neighborhood where the singer lived.
What do we know about the villa on Peljesac?
Media report that he built the villa in the municipality of Drace a year before his death, as a place to spend his retirement. Caution is needed here: the description of a 170 square meter house with a pool does not come from a finished building but from an interview Beslic gave in late 2023, in which he talks about a plan in the future tense. He told Story.hr at the time:
I bought a plot from a friend, or rather from his daughter, who has a company, and she is building a complex of 12 houses. Everything was bought already with a building permit. It won’t be an extra luxurious villa, but a house of 170 square meters. I will definitely have a pool in front of the house. I believe it will be finished next year, I don’t know whether I’ll make it by summer. We’ll see. I chose the place for the peace, the beauty and the closeness to Sarajevo.
So the claim that the house was built before the singer’s death comes from the media, while the dimensions and the pool are his announcement from 2023, not a confirmed description of a finished villa.
Who is the heir, and what is unconfirmed?
Media report that members of the immediate family said, a month after the singer’s death, that he had left everything to his wife. According to the same reports, relayed by Telegraf, she renounced her share in favor of their son Dino. None of the sources mentions probate proceedings or a family statement that would confirm this.
His wife Sejda has since died, a few months after the singer. At the memorial, the imam who led the funeral prayer said, as Kurir reports, that the “headstones are made, done for both of them,” and ended with a prayer “for our brother Halid and Sejda.” That makes it hard to treat the wife’s decision as a live matter: if a renunciation did take place, it remains a story the media repeat.
We have already covered the memorial: Colic sent a rose, and the family marked the anniversary without fanfare.
