David Bowie’s 20-page will has reportedly revealed the music icon wanted his ashes scattered in Aussie tourist playground Bali and his $US100 million fortune shared among his family.

Bowie, who died of cancer earlier this month, asked for his estate be left to his wife Iman Abdulmajid Jones, children, a nanny and a personal assistant, according to the will filed in Manhattan and seen by the New York Times.

His widow will receive about half of his estate, along with his Manhattan penthouse, where fans left a wall of flowers after his death.

Bowie’s adult son Duncan and teenage daughter Alexandria will get about 25 per cent each. Alexandria was also left Bowie’s mountain retreat in Ulster County, New York.

Marion Skene, a nanny who cared for Duncan, will also receive $US1 million, while the rock star’s long-time personal assistant Corinne Schwab, or Coco, has been left $US2 million and stocks.

The will, which was prepared in 2004, was filed under Bowie’s birth name, David Robert Jones, which was never legally changed by the singer who created the pop persona “Ziggy Stardust” in the early 1970s.

The document directed that Bowie be cremated, preferably in Bali “in accordance with the Buddhist rituals”.

He further stated that regardless of where the cremation took place, his ashes should be scattered in Bali.

Bowie was cremated in New Jersey on January 12.
