The Morgan Stanley boss who died on the Bayesian yacht left his £6.6million fortune to his wife – who also died in ocean tragedy.
Jonathan Bloomer, 70, and his wife Judy, 71, from Kent, were among the seven people who died when the 56 meter sailing boat sank off the coast of Sicily last August.
Tech tycoon Mike Lynch, 59, and his daughter Hannah, 18, both from Suffolk, also died after the £30 million vessel was hit by an over-sea tornado, known as a waterspout.
Teenager Hannah was the last to be found, hidden behind a mattress below deck. She had won a place to do English Literature at Oxford and was due to start her studies when she returned from the trip.
A pre-inquest hearing into the Mediterranean horror earlier this month delayed a full inquest until two criminal investigations, in the UK and Italy, had been completed.
Now the tragic final requests of Mr Bloomer reveal how the top investment banker went to the yacht unaware of the tragedy that would strike.
At the time of his death the couple, who lived in a grand £4.8million home in Sevenoaks had a gross value of £6,615,882 to their names, and a net value of £6,551,549.
In a will made in 1996, he appointed his wife as the sole Executrix of his estate if she were to survive him for a period of 90 days.
He directed that she should receive all his real and personal estate after his funeral and any other debts had been paid off.
As beneficiaries he named his wife, his children and the families of his children living when he died, alongside charities at the discretion of his trustees.
In kind tributes to his relatives, he further directed that his mother-in-law and own parents should each receive a sum of £100,000 if they were to survive him.
However, were Ms Bloomer not to survive him, he directed that the money should instead be given in equal shares to his three children, James, Elizabeth and Helena.
In a heart-wrenching tribute after last August’s tragedy, the family of the couple said: ‘Our only comfort is that they are still together now.’
They said: ‘We are grieving for our loved ones and all of those affected by the tragedy. Our parents were incredible people and an inspiration to many, but first and foremost they were focused on and loved their family and spending time with their new grandchildren.
‘Together for five decades, our only comfort is that they are still together now. This is an unimaginable grief to shoulder.’
