<p>Stieg Larsson&#8217;s brother has rejected claims by the late crime novelist&#8217;s long-time companion that the family is trying to squeeze every penny from the author&#8217;s posthumous fame.</p>
<p>Joakim Larsson says he and his father &#8211; who inherited the writer&#8217;s estate &#8211; plan to donate most of the 250 million kronor (£22.5m) they&#8217;ve earned to date from the books to charity.</p>
<p>On a talk show in Sweden, Joakim Larsson said the family hasn&#8217;t &#8220;even thought about&#8221; keeping the money.</p>
<p>The writer&#8217;s companion of 30 years, Eva Gabrielsson, wants control of Larsson&#8217;s works and claims the family is commercialising his legacy for profit.</p>
<p>She inherited nothing as they were not married and Larsson did not leave a will when he died in 2004, aged 50.</p>
<p>His death came before any of his three completed Millennium titles &#8211; The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played with Fire and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet&#8217;s Nest &#8211; were published.</p>
<p>The crime novels, featuring crusading journalist Blomkvist and punk hacker Salander, have become worldwide best-sellers with up to 50 million copies sold.</p>
