Japanese public opinion was shocked when the only son of "Pearl Girl" Nakayama Miho refused a fortune of 329 billion VND after more than a year of her death. Behind this decision is the harsh reality of strict legal regulations that weigh heavily on the shoulders of the young heir.

A hundred billion inheritance and a surprising decision to refuse

On the morning of April 5, Starnews and many Japanese media agencies simultaneously reported on the latest developments related to the division of the legacy of the late artist Miho Nakayama. Accordingly, the actress's son decided to refuse the right to inherit an estimated fortune of 12.5 million USD (equivalent to 329 billion VND). This is the number accumulated after decades of persistent artistic activities of Miho Nakayama as an A-list singer and actor.

The reason for this "shocking" decision does not lie in family conflicts but comes from the harsh inheritance tax burden in Japan. With a large asset value like that of Miho Nakayama, the tax rate that the son faces is up to 55%. According to regulations, this huge tax must be paid entirely in cash within 10 months and not deducted from the beneficiary inheritance itself. At the age of 22 and currently living in France, the son of the "Queen of Dramas" is said to be financially unable to pay this "heavenly" tax, leading to the painful abandonment of his mother's entire inheritance.

White death in the bathtub and the pain of showbiz in Phu Tang

Looking back at December 2024, the whole of Asia was shocked when it heard that Miho Nakayama died suddenly at the age of 54. She was found in the bathtub at her home in Tokyo by a colleague after the actress did not come to the company to work as scheduled. The conclusion from the authorities determined that this was an unexpected accident in the shower, closing the life of a beauty and talent icon when there were still many unfinished plans.

The passing of Miho Nakayama is not only a great loss for her family but also a void that is difficult to fill in Japanese cinema. From a young woman who entered showbiz at the age of 15, she has grown to become a "Pearl Girl" with pure beauty and mesmerizing acting. Audiences will forever remember a fragile but resilient Miho Nakayama in the masterpiece "Love Letter" (1995) – a work that not only brought her name to cover all of Asia but also brought a series of prestigious awards such as Blue Ribbon or Hochi Film.

The post-glory tragedy of a beauty monument

Once the "most beautiful woman in Japan" and the powerful "Queen" of Takuya Kimura, Miho Nakayama left a brilliant mark with the nomination for Best Actress at the "Oscars of Japan". However, behind the aura is a quiet private life and a lonely ending at home.

The rejection of the only son's huge inheritance due to harsh inheritance tax pressures has exposed a legal hidden corner in the land of the rising sun. The post-divorce separation caused the bond between mother and daughter to gradually break, turning their mother's legacy into a financial burden out of reach. This decision to give up was like a sad silence, closing the life of the beauty legend in the infinite regret of global fans.
