The couple will also split their summer house for 10 million British pounds in Vermdo, an island off the mainland of Sweden.
Lena’s cars are listed as Lexus LS500 and Toyota hybrid SUV.
A source told MailOnline: “A conservative estimate of what will be shared between them is £ 100 million, but it could be higher because the amount of money in their joint bank account could be well over £ 16 million. and we do not know the exact value of their works of art, which are said to be quite extensive.
“The equal division of all their marital assets sounds like a lot of money, but it’s not a bad deal for Bjorn, because much of his personal wealth will remain intact.”
The couple’s post-marriage agreement does not cover Bjorn’s extensive business and property interests and will remain in his possession.

Bjorn also has large real estate investments in other European countries as part of his business empire and also once owned a luxury mansion in Buckinghamshire.

ABBA’s Björn Ulveus, 76, boasted that he had sex “FOUR times a week” with Lena, 73, his 41-year-old wife – just months before their shock separation
From SARA PACKER TO MAILONLINE
ABBA’s Björn Ulveus said he had sex “four times a week” with Lina, his wife of 41 years – just months before announcing their separation, MailOnline reports.
The shocking breakup of the music superstar with 73-year-old Lena was confirmed in a joint statement yesterday, to the great distrust of the fans of the legendary band.
But Bjorn hinted that the couple had clashed during quarantine in Sweden during a rare insight into their marriage, which included bragging about his sexual power.
Asked “how often does he have sex?”, The Swede replied: “I’m 75 and I can’t do it more than four times a week.”

But when asked about his “most annoying habit,” Bjorn replied, “If you ask my wife, it will probably be my habit to walk around in a robe all day during our crown self-isolation.”
The couple isolated themselves at their home on a private island in Jursholm, a district of Stockholm, Sweden, and had to be especially vigilant due to Lena’s long battle with cancer.
The former music journalist was diagnosed with lymphocytic leukemia in 2003, and initial predictions raised great concern, fearing that the former music journalist could only have “years of life”.
But fortunately, her illness is slow and non-aggressive, making her more likely to “die from something else.”
Speaking about living in isolation in April 2020, Bjorn said: “My wife wears rubber gloves and a face mask when she goes to the store nearby, and she keeps her distance from others. That’s all we do.
“Sometimes our children and grandchildren come to visit us, but then we stay on the porch.”
Their separation also comes just months after ABBA released their first new music in four decades, Voyage, sparking Bjorn’s reunion with his ex-wife and bandmate Agneta Feltskog.
The former couple, who have two children, Linda, 48, and Peter, 44, married in 1971, but separated eight years later at the height of ABBA’s fame.
Speaking in September 2019, Bjorn admitted that the return of the group had “strengthened the bond” between them, as well as colleagues from the group Benny Anderson and Annie-Fried Lingstad, who were also married before.
Björn began dating Lena shortly after parting ways with Agnetha, a New Year’s Eve party hosted by Benny and Annie-Fried, which caused much suffering to his bandmate.
However, their relationship surpasses that of Bjorn and Agneta by more than three decades.
Bjorn and Lena insist that they intend to remain “close friends”, but did not confirm in their statement whether they will divorce or not, which could cause a quarrel over Bjorn’s enormous wealth.
The joint statement reads: “After many wonderful and eventful years, we have decided to separate.
“We remain close friends and will continue to celebrate our grandchildren’s birthdays and other family holidays together.”
