Cleaner Inherits £43m Fortune After Winning Court Battle Against Boss’s Son
A former cleaner who worked for a car-boot sale tycoon has won a High Court dispute over a £43million estate, defeating the late businessman’s eldest son.
Richard Scott, who built a fortune running one of the UK’s biggest car-boot fairs from his Cheshire farm, died aged 81 in 2018.
His eldest son, Adam Scott, claimed he had worked with his father from childhood and had been promised the entire estate — but the court ruled in favour of the former cleaner, who the businessman had chosen as his heir.
A long-serving cleaner has been awarded a £43 million inheritance after a court ruled in her favour in a dispute over her late employer’s estate.
According to reports, the woman—who worked for the wealthy businessman for many years—was included in his will, leaving her the bulk of his fortune. The decision was challenged by the man’s son, leading to a lengthy legal battle.
However, the court upheld the validity of the will, recognising the cleaner’s years of dedication and loyalty. The ruling has drawn widespread attention, sparking discussions on fairness, inheritance rights, and the unexpected turns life can take.
The case stands as a reminder that gratitude and loyalty can sometimes be rewarded in the most extraordinary ways.
