How Much Money Linda Lee Cadwell Inherited After Bruce Lee's Death

Lee met his wife, who was then Linda Emery, in Seattle, Washington. He was a student at the University of Washington, as was Linda. It was there that the two students met and began dating. The couple got married on August 17, 1964. They moved to California and had two children — in 1965, a son Brandon born, and a daughter named Shannon (pictured with Linda), born in 1969. Lee opened a martial arts school in Seattle and ran it successfully for a time but much bigger success was on the horizon. When the start of the '70s came around, Lee moved his family to Hong Kong, where he'd embark on his successful martial arts film career. 

Sadly, the Lee kids wouldn't get the chance to grow up with their father. Bruce Lee died on July 20, 1973, after taking a pain drug to relieve some discomfort he was experiencing and suffering a rare brain edema, says Biography.
