ANNE Robinson is swerving a hefty inheritance tax on her £50million fortune by giving her wealth away before she dies. The Weakest Link anchor, 79, revealed her savvy move to "save" her hard-earned money from being claimed by "the taxman." Anne , who had a stint hosting Channel 4's Countdown from 2021 to 2022, has accumulated an incredible fortune from her various broadcasting roles.
She has told how she has "spread" her fortunes between daughter Emma, 43, and her grandsons to stop HMRC having a hold on it. She told Saga Magazine : "I've given it all away. "I don't want the taxman to have it.
I've spread it about quite a lot, to the children. "They may as well enjoy it now." Anne added: "I can't think there's anything I really want except my good health and the family happiness.
" Previously, the TV stalwart has addressed her income gained after years on prime time TV. The former Question Time panelist has also presented Points Of View and Watchdog. She spent a decade on The Weakest Link and this was even parodied in a Doctor Who episode.
Speaking to Event magazine in 2015 about her earnings from TV she said: "You'll discuss your sex life, your mother's dementia, your operations and whatever else at a dinner party, but people won't talk about money. "I just buy what I want. Genuinely.
"I buy at Dover Street, Yves Saint Laurent, Bottega Veneta, Marni...
a lot of them are very expensive but I use them and get enormous pleasure out of them." "[I spent around] 50, 60 grand a year.
