Muhammad Ali’s Son Dumps Wife & Kids After Inheriting Late Boxer’s Millions

Muhammad Ali’ s

heirs have avoided a heavyweight brawl over his $80 million

fortune ! The late champ’s nine children and widow, Lonnie ,

met in California on June 28 to divvy up his estate.

Though the meeting went smoothly, with the boxing legend’s

seven daughters, his natural son, Muhammad Ali Jr. , and his

adopted son getting an equal share and Lonnie keeping the

Ali estate, not everyone may be pleased with the result.

A source revealed 44-year-old Ali Jr. has dumped his wife and

their two children and is moving out of Chicago’s tough South

Side to a home in a better neighborhood Ali Jr. went to California, and now he’s got some money all of

a sudden,” dished the source.

It’s a huge change for Ali Jr., who’d been estranged from his

famous father —who passed away on June 3 at age 74 — for

years. For the past decade, he and his family — wife Shaakira

and their children, Ameera , 8, and Shakera , 7 — have been

relying on food stamps and handouts to get by, insiders said.

While Ali Jr. is moving from Chicago’s blighted West

Englewood area to a middle-class neighborhood near Midway

Airport, “his wife and children won’t miss out,” insisted the

source.“He gave his wife $75 to buy herself something nice, and

bought the kids new shoes. He also wants to set up a trust

fund for his kids,” added the source of Ali Jr., who has

struggled with marijuana addiction and other issues .

Family members now hope to keep him on the straight and

narrow, said the source, but Ali Jr. is more focused on starting

a business and helping people in the community.

“He wants to do landscaping stuff and help people,” said our

mole. “He doesn’t need much. He’s a simple dude.”
