Becoming a billionaire
Born Jocelyne Perisset in Switzerland, she occupied the media with huge headlines after her divorce from billionaire and art collector, Alec Wildenstein. From her divorce she received a $2.5 billion settlement, plus the annual payments.She was getting $100 million per year for 13 years by her ex-husband, and later his estate following his death in 2008 at 67. On 2015 her ex husband’s family cut off the payments.
On 2018, she filed for bankruptcy and in one of her last interviews she claimed that she was receiving an allowence of 900 dollars, by the state.
Shortly after her divorce, Wildenstein began dating her longtime partner Klein. Their relationship was troubled: According to Daily Mail, in 2016 Wildenstein was arrested for slashing Klein’s face with scissors during a fight at her Trump Tower apartment.
The “Catwoman”
The press continued to follow her for another reason: Wildenstein’s addiction to plastic surgery. Over the years, after countless surgeries, she managed to look like a cat. But not in a good way…
Wildenstein never admited her cosmetic surgeries, claiming that her looks are down to her ‘Swiss Heritage.’
