Sharon Osbourne Faces Financial Challenges After Ozzy's Passing
- Sharon Osbourne is reportedly encountering financial difficulties, including struggles to sell the family's Los Angeles mansion, despite an inheritance estimated at $220 million from her late husband, Ozzy Osbourne, who passed away on July 22, 2025.
- The Los Angeles estate, which Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne purchased for $11.85 million in 2015, has been on and off the market for years, and even after a price reduction to $17 million and an attempt to rent it for $55,000 a month, it remains unsold.

A year after the death of rock legend Ozzy Osbourne at age 76, his widow Sharon Osbourne is reportedly facing financial setbacks. Ozzy Osbourne, known as the frontman for Black Sabbath, died on July 22, 2025, due to cardiac arrest, coronary artery disease, and Parkinson’s disease. His net worth at the time of his death was widely reported to be $220 million, though some estimates placed it as high as $337 million.
Among the challenges is the struggle to sell the family’s lavish Los Angeles mansion in Hancock Park, which served as their longtime American home. The seven-bedroom, eleven-bathroom Spanish Colonial estate, designed in 1929 by A.K. Kellogg, was initially listed for $18 million, then reduced to $17 million, and later offered for rent at $65,000 a month, subsequently lowered to $55,000, but has yet to find a buyer or tenant. The property carries three home loans totaling over $18.8 million, with monthly repayments, property taxes, and insurance estimated at $82,000. The Osbournes had acquired the property in 2015 for $11.85 million.
In addition to the property issues, Ozzy Osbourne’s estate reportedly faced nearly $8 million in unpaid tax bills, including federal tax liens from 2023 and 2024 totaling over $5 million. The complexity of estate taxes in both the U.S. and the U.K., where Ozzy also owned a home in Buckinghamshire and was buried on his estate, could further reduce the inheritance. Sharon Osbourne, who managed Ozzy’s career and was a prominent figure on reality television, has an estimated net worth of $220 million, often combined with Ozzy’s.
