The children of the founder of Mango have paid around 60 million euros to the Catalan Tax Agency as inheritance tax. Additionally, they have transferred 27 million to the entrepreneur's ex-partner, Estefania Knuth, following a court agreement.
The heirs of Isak Andic, founder of Mango, have settled their obligations with the tax office. According to sources close to the family, the three children of the businessman, Jonathan, Judith, and Sarah, have paid the Catalan Tax Agency the inheritance and donation tax corresponding to their father's estate, who passed away in December 2024 after falling from a cliff near Barcelona. The amount, which has not been officially confirmed by the family, is around 60 million euros, according to 'El Confidencial'.
This payment adds to the approximately 20 million euros that the Andic siblings have transferred to the businessman’s widow, with whom they were in a legal dispute over the estate. Meanwhile, the family has reached an amicable agreement with Isak Andic's ex-partner, golfer Estefania Knuth, to whom they have paid 27 million euros following a dispute that went to court.
An equal distribution will and a dispute with the ex-partner
In his will, Isak Andic stated that his fortune, valued at around 4.5 billion euros according to the latest Forbes list, should be divided equally among his three children. Additionally, he bequeathed 5 million euros to his partner at the time, Estefania Knuth, with whom he had been in a relationship for years. However, the golfer deemed this amount insufficient and claimed 50 million, leading to a confrontation with the heirs.
The conflict was finally resolved in recent weeks with an out-of-court agreement whereby the Andics paid 27 million to Knuth, a figure significantly higher than the initial amount. Sources consulted confirm that the transfer has already been made, thus closing one of the most tense chapters of the inheritance.
The legal process against Jonathan Andic, the eldest son
The estate of Isak Andic is also a key element in the legal case investigating his death. His eldest son, Jonathan Andic, is accused of homicide after the Mossos d'Esquadra found contradictions in his initial statements and evidence of a troubled relationship with his father. According to the investigation, Jonathan had requested his inheritance while his father was alive and discovered that his father planned to establish a foundation with the profits from Mango, which would have reduced the estate to be divided.
The investigating judge has indicated that the relationship between father and son was marked by financial disagreements, and that Jonathan had a complicated relationship with money. The case continues its judicial course, while the family attempts to manage the legacy of one of the most emblematic businessmen in Catalonia.
For readers interested in the business and tax realm, this news confirms that tax payments on large inheritances can reach million-euro figures, and that disputes between heirs and partners are common when there is no prior agreement. The resolution of the conflict with Knuth, through an amicable pact, avoids a prolonged and costly trial, something to consider in complex succession processes.
