María Teresa Campos died on September 5 at the Fundación Jiménez Díaz University Hospital in Madrid at the age of 82. The ultimate cause of her death was acute respiratory failure, for which the well-known communicator had been admitted two days earlier.
However, far from leaving everything ready before her death, the journalist would have refused until the end to sign her will before a notary for reasons that only she had and that not everyone was able to convince.
This is stated by Semana magazine, which this week analyzes how the popular journalist's inheritance remains in the absence of an official will and how it affects her daughters and main legitimate heirs, Terelu Campos and Carmen Borrego.
Despite what it may seem after years and years of work, the presenter's assets were rather scarce due to her countless expenses and her outstanding accounts with the Tax Agency, having decreased considerably in recent times.
During her decades of professional success, María Teresa Campos amassed an enormous fortune - it is said that during her time at Antena 3 she earned almost three million euros a year - which she invested in a vast real estate estate, with high-value properties in cities. like Madrid, Malaga or Marbella.
However, the expenses that the journalist had to face in recent years made her get rid of almost all her valuable properties, including her luxurious mansion in Molino de la Hoz, in Las Rozas, measuring 2,000 square meters, and which It became a headache for the presenter due to the costs of maintaining it (10,000 euros per month) and being able to sell it for an adequate amount, which was finally 2.5 million euros.
Of all these properties, today only one seems to remain: a house near Pedralejos, on the coast of Malaga. A house of about 175 square meters that consists of four bedrooms, two bathrooms, kitchen, dining room and a large terrace. The presenter had another home of a somewhat smaller size in the center of the Andalusian capital, but she had to sell it in 2020.
In addition to her properties, the presenter also managed two companies dedicated to media production: TeteCO and LuCam. The first of them is still active, and its assets are still valued at hundreds of thousands of euros.
After your death, without surprises, your legitimate heirs will be the ones to administer your estate. Terelu Campos and Carmen Borrego are the only two daughters of the presenter, and to whom the inheritance corresponds, as there is no will.
The family of the popular communicator held the funeral in Malaga, where hundreds of people traveled to accompany them in this last farewell to the nicknamed "queen of the mornings." A ceremony full of emotional moments and reminders of a journalist who always raised the flag and was proud of her land.
