Who Is Tamika Hendrix?
Tamika Hendrix, born as Tamika Laurice James Hendrix, is the oldest daughter of father Jimi Hendrix and mother Diana Carpenter.
She was born on February 11, 1967, in Minneapolis, MN. As of 2021, she is 54 years of age.
She also has a half-brother James Daniel Sundquist, who was born from her father’s relationship with Eva Sundquist.
Despite being siblings, they never shared a close relationship.
Talking about her nationality, she is an American and her birth sign is Aquarius.
Besides, Tamika is an educated individual and finished her early education at a local school.
She reportedly did her matriculation in 1985.
She Is The Illegitimate Daughter Of Jimi Hendrix
Like we mentioned earlier, Jimi was never married and Tamika was born from his relationship out of wedlock.
As per the reports, Jimi met Tamika’s mother Diana Carpenter on road.
Around 1966, they spent a brief time together in California and eventually in New York.
Her parents allegedly had a very casual relationship with no intention to ever get married.
Well, their casual affair led to Diana’s pregnancy thus she had to move to her home in Minneapolis, as she was unable to travel with Hendrix and his band.
Soon after that, she gave birth to Tamika but didn’t reveal the news for over six months and Jimi was also unaware of the fact.
At the time of the delivery, Diana was merely 16 whereas Jimi was 23.
Did Tamika Hendrix Inherit Jimi Hendrix Net Worth?
As a daughter of Jimi, Tamika could be the one legible to inherit his wealth.
But since she was the illegitimate daughter and could not undergo a paternity test, she did not inherit her father’s wealth upon his death.
As per the reports, Jimi neither acknowledged nor vigorously denied Tamika being his daughter.
Thus, the best solution to it was undergoing a paternity test.
In fact, Jimi and Diana’s lawyer were even arranging for a blood test but owing to Jimi’s busy schedule, the process was delayed.
But due to the death of Hendrix on September 18th, 1970, the blood tests to establish Jimi’s paternity of the child could never happen.
Thus, the court proceedings to establish the claim didn’t happen in the time period specified by New York law.
This led to the denial of Tamika’s inheritance of Jimi’s wealth.
Eventually, Jimi’s estate of over $400,000 was entirely handed over to his father Al Hendrix.
He even had control over his son’s song and image rights.
That said, Tamika Hendrix’s net worth in 2021 is considered to be around $100,000.
