Both men had been acquitted of fraud in June 2024 over the £8.6billion sale of Mr Lynch’s software firm Autonomy to Hewlett-Packard in 2011.

Mr Chamberlain died aged 52 from head injuries three days after being hit by a car while out running near his home in Longstanton, Cambs.

An inquest found that the driver could not have avoided the father of two.

Figures from the Probate Registry show Mr Chamberlain left £358,933 — reduced to £346,508 after debts were paid — to widow Karen and children Ella and Teddy.

Lynch, 59, died alongside his daughter and five other people when his yacht Bayesian sank off the coast of Sicily.

He had been celebrating his acquittal from US fraud charges when his yacht was knocked sideways by a sudden 80mph gust and started taking in water.

As the boat sank rapidly, Lynch’s wife Angela Bacares was pulled to safety by a crew member.

But their 18-year-old daughter Hannah and five others on board never made it out.

The vessel sunk in just 16 minutes after being hit by a violent downburst.

Chamberlain was a former vice-president of software company Autonomy.
