Extravagant posthumous wishes of stars (7 photos)

Many celebrities have their own quirks. Moreover, they concern not only the time while they live, but also after their death.





Think through your life from beginning to end and even a couple of days after.

By the way, have you ever wondered how best to organize your final farewell?

Elizabeth Taylor



The actress was known not only for her beauty and talent. She was famous for her ability to be late for all social events. Over time, those around him simply came to terms with it and perceived it as part of his personality. Elizabeth ironically indicated in her will that she wanted to be late for her funeral too. On March 23, 2011, Taylor died and the car with the actress’s body arrived at the cemetery 15 minutes later than the specified time.

At the same request of the actress, someone defended the phrase: “She wanted to be late even for her own funeral!”

Oprah Winfrey





One of the most famous TV presenters does not have a family, but loneliness does not bother her at all. Oprah made dogs and helping people the meaning of her life. Upon death, half of her estate is to be given to charities, and the other half is to be given to her four dogs. Each of them will receive $30 million.

Kim Kardashian



Celebrities are great at presenting themselves not only on the red carpet, but also in everyday life. She cares so much about her appearance that she worries about how she will be seen off on her last journey. Kim was concerned that while dying, she would not be able to clearly state the requirements for her appearance in the coffin. Of course she wants to look perfect. Kim prescribed her appearance in advance, indicating not only the brand of the suit, but also the color of the nail polish.

Andrzej Tchaikovsky



The Polish composer bequeathed his body to be used for medical purposes, and his head to the theater. His dream was for his skull to take part in the play "Hamlet". Of course, real human bones are not used in theaters, but an exception was made for Andrzej. In 2008, his skull appeared in a Shakespeare production. Then the role of the Prince of Denmark was played by British actor David Tennant.

Napoleon Bonaparte



The commander died at the age of 51. There is still debate as to whether this death was planned or natural. And his dying wish only added to the intrigue: he wanted to be cut off after death and give his hair to his friends. Perhaps Napoleon assumed that he might be poisoned. And it was not paranoia - traces of arsenic were found in his hair.

Hunter Thompson



This founder of gonzo journalism was passionate about rock and roll, went on tour with musicians and absolutely did not want to live by the rules. Hunter committed suicide, writing in his suicide note that he had already lived longer than he wanted. A few years earlier, Thompson had said that he wanted a big party at his funeral and that his ashes would be shot out of a cannon at the end. Whether it was a joke or not, his close friend, Johnny Depp, took Hunter's will seriously. He paid for his friend's cremation and everything else.
