Robert Redford, one of the most emblematic figures of American cinema, died at the age of 89, on September 16, 2025, in his residence in Sundance, Utah, surrounded by the family. Along with the impressive career, the actor and director left behind an estimated wealth of $ 200 million.
Although his will is not public, according to Newsweek, the family will play an essential role in managing wealth and continuing his artistic and philanthropic projects.
Who inherits Robert Redford’s wealth
Robert Redford leaves his wife, Sibylle Szaggars, with whom she was married for 16 years, and the two daughters, Shauna and Amy Redford. Both sons of the actor, James and Scott Redford have died, but the extended family also includes grandchildren who work in the artistic and philanthropic field, already involving Redford’s legacy.
Shauna Redford, the eldest daughter, is a painter and leads a discreet life. She is married to journalist Eric Schlosser, the author of the book “Fast Food Nation”, and has two children, Mica and Conor Schlosser. Both are following creative careers: Little is illustrating and copywriter, and Conor works in media production, including for radicalmedia and previous for Sundance Institute.
Amy Redford, the family’s stretch, is a filmmaker and filmmakers. He lives in Salt Lake City and has three daughters: Eden August and two twins. Amy co-prefers the scrappy Broads podcast, keeping the family’s connection with the artistic world alive.
Among the active grandchildren in preserving Redford’s values are Dylan Redford, the son of the late James Redford. Dylan is a director, actor and member of the Redford Center Council, a non-profit organization that supports projects dedicated to environment and social justice.
Sibylle Szaggars – life partner and creation
Sibylle Szaggars Redford, a painter of German origin, married Robert Redford in 2009. The two collaborated on several artistic projects with ecological and spiritual theme. Although the details of the will are not public, it is expected that Szaggars will be involved in the distribution of wealth, or as a direct heir, or as supporter of the organizations founded by Redford.
A fortune dedicated to noble causes
Even though he gathered a considerable fortune, Robert Redford has never been exclusively interested in financial gain. Much of his success has been reinvested in philanthropic projects, such as Sundance Institute and The Redford Center, institutions that support independent directors and ecological projects.
Redford stated in an interview for Esquire UK: “When I started to be successful, I wanted to build something like Sundance. It was a non-profit organization, so I had nothing to gain financially, but I knew it would create opportunities for filmmakers whose voices could not be heard. “
