Warne also requested his prized vehicle collection valued at $375,500- including a BMW, Mercedes Benz and a Yamaha motorbike – to be left to his son Jackson.
The Supreme Court heard his assets were valued at $20,711,013.27.
His estate included $5 million in his Australian bank account and his $6.5 million seaside home in Portsea, Melbourne.
His assets also included a $2 million jetski, more than half a million in another bank account and close to $3 million in shares.
It was revealed Warne had $295,000 in liabilities, including a credit card and household bills.
This week the will was granted probate, meaning his three executors have the authority to distribute the estate to the beneficiaries.
Warne died in Thailand after suffering a heart attack, aged 52, on March 4, 2022.
The cricket great was found by his friend Andrew Neophitou – who is one of the executors of his will – unresponsive in a villa in Koh Samui after he failed to meet the group at an agreed time for drinks.
Mr Neophitou performed CPR until an ambulance arrived and transported Warne to hospital where he was officially pronounced dead.
His death sent shockwaves across the world with tributes flowing from politicians to sporting greats, to anyone the cricketer graced with his presence.
More than 50,000 mourners also gathered at the MCG for his state memorial in March.
The leg spinner is regarded as one of the greatest cricketers of all time, taking 708 Test wickets in 145 matches between 1992 and 2007.
Warne won six Ashes and was part of Australia’s 1999 World Cup victory and in 2013 was inducted into the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame.
After his international cricket career, Warne was a colour commentator and broadcaster for Channel 9 and Fox Cricket and also played in Australia’s Big Bash League.
