To his wife, Anne Hathaway. The first best one was probably already promised to his daughter and son in law who got the bulk of his estate.

Who did William Shakespeare leave his fortune to?

In his will, Shakespeare left the bulk of his large estate to his elder daughter Susanna Hall, born Shakespeare. The terms instructed that she pass it down intact to "the first son of her body". The Halls had one child, Elizabeth, who married twice but died without children in 1670, ending Shakespeare's direct line. He left practically nothing to his second daughter, Judith Quiney, born Shakespeare. The Quineys had three children, all of whom died without marrying. Shakespeare's will scarcely mentions his wife, Anne Hathaway, who was probably entitled to one third of his estate automatically. He did make a point, however, of leaving her "my second best bed", a bequest that has led to much speculation. Some scholars see the bequest as an insult to Anne, whereas others believe that the second-best bed would have been the matrimonial bed and therefore rich in significance.
