Just recently I stumbled upon a TV show about him and his estate. I remember when he died and the news broke about his cisgender status. I did not know that he was living in a trailer in Spokane, Washington with his estranged wife living in their house.

Apparantly after he and his wife separated he raised their three adopted sons in this trailer. When he died his estate was worth aproximately $300 k and left to his wife. When she died the remaining three sons fought over the estate and each ended up with about $25 k after paying the legal fees.

I do wonder if Billy Tipton was a Transsexual or was a butch "passing" and decided to live his life as a "man" because he needed a source of income. During his lifetime it was de facto that a woman could not break into the field of a professional jazz musician.

Maybe it was a combination of the above and then some. May he rest in peace.
