Selena Quintanilla's life ended tragically, and the singer had so much potential for a great career ahead of her. When she died in 1995, the singer had $5 million in her bank account (via Celebrity Net Worth). Before and after Selena's death, money proved to be a big issue. The reason why the singer fired her fan club president, Yolanda Saldívar, was actually because she was embezzling money. According to Biography, Selena fired Saldívar in 1995, but still kept in touch with her to obtain financial documents she needed. During one of their meetings, Saldívar shot Selena (via Marie Claire), but she never recovered from her injuries. 

Following Selena's death, money continued to be a huge issue, and there was even a legal battle between her husband, Chris Perez, and her father, Abraham Quintanilla. According to Billboard, the two battled over Selena's estate, and it has gone on for years. Shortly after Selena died, Abraham wanted to make sure that the singer's legacy would live on. He drafted up an agreement that would allow him "exclusive authority to exploit" Selena's "name, voice, signature, photograph, and likeness." Perez agreed to sign in exchange for a 25% share of the net profits. Years later, Perez filed a counterclaim, saying that he signed the papers during a time when he "was most vulnerable and susceptible to Abraham's deceit." The report also suggests that Perez has earned $3 million in net profits over the years.
