Guitar great B.B. KING's vast fortune has been partly exposed in a new lawsuit.

The blues legend's former business manager Floyd Leiberman claims King has cut him out of cash he has earned since 2000, and in his suit, he estimates the star has made over $100 million (£66.6 million) over the past decade.

Leiberman claims he helped King make a fortune, but hasn't received his cut of the profits, according to TMZ.com.

In the lawsuit, filed in the Supreme Court of New York, Floyd is asking King for at least $1.5 million (£1 million).
