Oliver Tree made a surprising revelation about his estate just weeks before his death.
The musician, who died in a helicopter crash in Brazil on Sunday, June 14, had recently opened up about how he wanted his assets handled after his passing during an April appearance on “The Zach Sang Show.”
"I don't believe that any of the wealth or the things that get made from it is mine. So when I die — I've set it up — my will is set up that when I pass, my family, no one's going to get a penny," the "Miss You" singer revealed.

Oliver Tree revealed in an April interview that he planned to leave his fortune to artists rather than family members after his death.
He went on to explain that his future children would not inherit his fortune either.
"If I have a wife or kids or anything, [they're] not getting a f------ penny," he continued. "I'll get my kids through college. That's the agreement. But there's not going to be a silver spoon. They're taken care of because my dad worked on some stuff in the 2000s. The idea is, when I die, all the money is going to go back to artists."
Tree's Vision for Supporting Future Artists

The musician said he created a foundation called Dr. Oliver Tree’s Art Grants for Baby Geniuses to support future creative projects.
According to the singer, he established an organization designed to help creative people after he was gone.
“I’ve set up a foundation called Dr. Oliver Tree’s Art Grants for Baby Geniuses, and it’s set up so that the interest generated from my music. But there’s room for other money, because when I die, my art will have residual value and will probably be worth more than it is now. It will finally be appreciated. My stupid f------ videos. My stupid f------ songs,” Tree shared.
“I don’t believe in money going to education,” he explained. “I want it to go to the physical making of art. You’re not allowed to buy equipment with the money. You’re not allowed to go get education and schooling with the money. You have to physically hire people to physically produce stuff — and you’re allowed to rent equipment to make things.”
He concluded by explaining that a committee would oversee the process and determine who receives funding. Tree also noted that he hoped the foundation would remain active “for a hundred years.”
