Richard Simmons had an estimated net worth of $20 million.
His death also came four months after he gave fans a scare with a cryptic post about his health.
In March, Simmons lovingly told his supporters: "Please don't be sad. I am... dying. Oh, I can see your faces now. The truth is we are all dying. Every day we live we are getting closer to our death."
"Why am I telling you this? Because I want you to enjoy your life and to the fullest every single day. Get up in the morning and look at the sky... count your blessings and enjoy."
