Tina Turner sold over ten million records with the Ike & Tina Turner Revue. When she finally escaped her marriage in 1976, she ran with thirty-six cents and a gas card, then gave away almost every asset in the divorce and kept only the name Ike had trademarked so he could replace her. We traced where the money actually went.

This is the money story the movie never told. Using the divorce decree, her recording contracts, court filings, and the 2021 BMG deal, we follow every dollar: from the 1962 lawsuit over stolen earnings, through food stamps and the Private Dancer comeback at 44, to the reported fifty-million-dollar sale of her name and catalog. Then we show why the man who kept the studio, the publishing, and the real estate died with a reported five hundred thousand dollars, while the woman who kept only a name died worth an estimated quarter of a billion.
