Ruth Bader Ginsburg leaves estate to children and housekeeper, report says

Ruth Bader Ginsburg left most of her estate to her children, but she also named her housekeeper in her will. 

Through RBG’s estate, her children received her possessions and personal property and her longtime helper, Elizabeth Salas, received a generous bequest. 

RBG’s estate was valued at just under $6 million, out of which a portion ($40,000) was set aside for Ms. Salas who worked for her for 22 years. 

RBG and Ms. Salas were said to have a very close relationship. Ms. Salas even sat next to Joe Biden when Justice Ginsburg “lay in state at the US Capitol last year.” 

RBG was appointed by President Bill Clinton and served on the U.S. Supreme Court from 1993 until her death last year at the age of 87.
