Goldstein Assets Outed

ADAM ‘DJ AM’ GOLDSTEIN left a property empire worth $3.5 million (£2.3 million) and debts of $2.9 million (£1.9 million), according to newly-corrected legal papers.

The DJ’s estate released the information to clarify earlier reports suggesting his real estate earned him $3.5 million in rent annually.

The paperwork, filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, also revealed DJ AM owned personal property worth $400,000 (£267,000).

The star was found dead in his New York City apartment on 28 August (09) after having suffered an accidental drug overdose.

Goldstein did not have a will, so his grieving mum Andrea Gross was been forced to file papers as his sole heir. During a hearing in Los Angeles last month (02Sep09), a judge granted her request to be named special administrator of her son’s estate.
