Queen's frontman Freddie Mercury's muse Mary Austin is set to receive $51 million from Bohemian Rhapsody's success

Her quiet life came under the limelight when her private story with the Queen's frontman was told in the biopic

Freddie Mercury would have probably never written the song, 'Love of My Life', had it not been for Mary Austin. Known as his "common-law" wife, Austin is set to receive almost £40million ($5,14,07,920) in royalties, a share of the massive success of the Rami Malek-starring, 'Bohemian Rhapsody'. Based on Mercury's journey as Queen's frontman, the movie went on to earn almost £600 million at the box office and was also recognized as the best film at the Golden Globes this year.
