CBGB’s Owner Gained Millions off Punk Rock

It turned out that Hilly Kristal – the owner of legendary New York punk rock club CBGB, who died last month of lung cancer – has left behind a $3.7 million estate after his death.

While he was apparently socking away a lot of money while he bitterly disputed an increase in his club’s rent, Hilly’s fortune is reportedly a surprise even to his survivors, who are now, in the true spirit of punk rock, fighting over it.
