family home in Chicago
"Wanted to live in better neighborhood after years in
the South Side

*Muhammad Ali's son has dumped his wife and two
children after inheriting his part of his late father's
fortune, a report suggests.
Just over a month after the The Greatest's death,
Muhammad Ali Jr. is believed to have moved out of
his family home in Chicago's South Side to a more
affluent part of the city.
He was woefully neglected by his absentee father
as a child, and badly bullied by boys who wanted to
prove they could beat up the champion’s son
Sources told Radar Online he wanted to move into a
better neighborhood after getting the money.
Children of the boxing hero, who died on June 3,
met in California to discus how to divide his estate.
When Ali Jr. returned, those close to them said he
had suddenly come into money, according to the
report.
For the last ten years, he and his family - wife
Shaakira and children, Ameera, eight, and Shakera,
seven - have been relying on food stamps and
handouts.
He had been estranged from his sporting legend
father for a number of years.
The insiders say he is moving close to Midway
Airport.
They have also hinted that his wife and children
won't completely miss out.
'He gave his wife $75 to buy herself something nice,
and bought the kids new shoes. He also wants to
set up a trust fund for his kids,' the source told the
tabloid site.
After suffering problems with addiction, his family
now want him to get clean and get a job.
The insider added: 'He wants to do landscaping
stuff and help people. He doesn’t need much. He’s
a simple dude.'
In an interview with Daily Mail Online shortly before
his father's death, Ali Jr. said he was in contact
with his sisters, but they rarely discussed family
matters.
He said: 'I'm trying to live life, and be good. I saw
him on his 72nd birthday, then on his 73rd birthday,
I sung happy birthday to him, and I heard nothing
back, he didn't respond and I know it was the
Parkinson's. I knew he was in a pretty bad shape.
'I don't discuss my father to my sisters about
anything, I don't have anybody I can confide in, so I
don't do that. I don't really care anymore about
being cut off from the family.
'I've got through so much things in my life, I've got
to the point where it doesn't matter anymore, I live
for me. I live life.
'I know that the last thing about Parkinson's is
being bed ridden, and he's been laid up in bed for
months.
'My grandfather also has Parkinson's, I don't think
about my father, when my grandfather is in
Flossmoor, I'm close to him, more than I am my
father, I've got to serve my purpose and help my
grandfather Sada Ali-Din, at least I'm helping
somebody.
'He's got Parkinson's, my mother's father. He lives
with Amina.
'It's just not something that I worry about, I've got
more things to worry about than my father, I got to
live life.'
He had claimed he had received nothing from his
father before his death.
