As much of the wealth was passed down through family trusts, he did not have to pay billions in inheritance taxes, The Guardian reported. Hugh Grosvenor inherited his father's billions, as well as his estates in the wealthy London neighborhoods of Belgravia and Mayfair, and the ancestral home in Cheshire, Eaton Hall. At the time, he was the 114th wealthiest person in the world, with a fortune of around £9 billion, according to Forbes. Gerald Cavendish Grosvenor, the 6th Duke and a close friend of the Queen and then-Prince Charles, was 64 when he died of a heart attack on August 9, 2016.
