The only known amount of money tied to Christopher Lee in the aftermath of his death was £48,221 ($63,772), the actor's estate in Britain. All of this money was evidently put toward his outstanding expenses and probate (a legal process whereby a will is accepted as a legal document and the executor is given authority to enact it, which can be very costly in the U.K. per AFG Law). According to the Daily Mail, there was barely any money left after paying these costs. 

However, it turns out that most of Lee's assets were in the United States, which had been his residence for many years (via Dupont and Blumenstiel Law). The 93-year-old was survived by his wife and daughter, the former having been the one to inherit his assets. How much these amounted to is virtually unknown, with the executor of his will's assertion that he lived a "comfortable lifestyle" in the U.S. not being too helpful.
