While his husband Tom Ford was a household name, journalist and editor Richard Buckley was also well-respected within the fashion industry. And his more than 40 year career earned him an impressive net worth of $20 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. Buckley "died of natural causes after a long illness" in September 2021 (via People). Once news of his passing was made public, tributes from friends started to pour in.

"To call Richard a dear and beloved friend is a privilege, and to know the huge hole left in your lives fills me with deep, deep sadness. He was so loved, so respected and so madly and passionately dedicated to you, Tom and Jack, that his life was fully complete," said Stella McCartney (via the Daily Mail). "He was such a beautiful spirit," noted model Helena Christensen, while artist Cindy Sherman wrote, "Aww very sad news indeed, I didn't know him well but the few times we met, he was just as you describe, kind, gentle and compassionate. My heart goes out to Tom and the family."
