Don't all rich people have wills? No: Prince didn't

Prince left behind no known will when he died April 21, and the work of settling his multimillion-dollar estate is being carried out behind closed doors by tight-lipped lawyers. Estate attorneys unconnected to the case say they have a pretty good idea what's happening, starting with a careful accounting of the megastar's assets, debts and whether any unknown heirs exist.

Scary stuff! 
Aside: lots of famous people have not planned for their eventual demise. In my family, it seems that the adults think once they make a will, they've told the man upstairs that they are ready to go. But here's a short list of other famous people who died with no will.

Abraham Lincoln
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Jimi Hendrix
Howard Hughes
Bob Marley
Kurt Cobain
Amy Winehouse
Sonny Bono
Pablo Picasso
Barry White
