Sean Ono Lennon Denies Unequal Inheritance

Sean Ono Lennon has pushed back against a claim that he received a larger inheritance than his half-brother, Julian Lennon, from the estate of John Lennon.

On Monday, the musician – the second son of the Beatles legend and Yoko Ono – shared a photo on X showing himself and Julian, 63, looking out at a lake in a scenic spot.

"Had a great bday with my brother...@JulianLennon," he captioned the image.

Not long after, a follower claimed that Sean had been the primary beneficiary of John's estate when the singer-songwriter was killed at 40 in 1980.

"One guy inherited most of the estate, the other largely cut out and forced to engaged in decades-long litigation in pursuit of a comparatively small share of it," the person wrote. "Unbearably painful and enraging for the one, surely pretty darn awkward for the other. That they remain friends (and largely always were) is testimony to the redemptive power of being a chill dude with broad implications for the wider world."

Sean, however, wasted no time in answering the allegation publicly.

"Julian and I inherited the same amount from our dad. Our trusts were equal. Although his was slightly more, but negligibly so," the 51-year-old said.

Julian, the son of the Imagine hitmaker and his first wife Cynthia Lennon, has not yet responded to the post.

In 1996, the musician-photographer settled a 16-year legal battle against Yoko in which he reportedly received $26 million (£20 million) from John's estate.
