As a famous New York rich woman let down $ 2,5 billion and became bankrupt

New York socialite Jocelyn Wildenstein once had a fortune of billions of dollars, but now there is no money in her accounts, and the woman herself is going through a bankruptcy procedure.

Wildenstein, who is called the "cat-woman" because of an unusual look, filed for bankruptcy in May. They indicate that there is no money in her accounts, the newspaper writes Time.

A Swiss-born 77 says she now receives only 900 dollars per month in social security payments.

“I don't work and my only income is Social Security. I often turn to friends and family for help with my daily expenses,” Wildenstein admitted.

The only thing that can help a woman save a situation is a large amount of expensive property. It owns assets in the amount of 16,39 million dollars, while having 6,38 million dollars of debts.

Wildenstein owns a vast apartment worth 11,75 million dollars in the Trump World Tower in Manhattan, as well as the Bentley 2006 of the year, which currently costs 35 thousand dollars.

However, the debts of women are also impressive. This list contains 300 000 dollars of debt to lawyers and law firms, as well as 4,6 million dollars of debt for an apartment.

Jocelyn became rich in 1999, receiving a billion dollars in 2,5 after a divorce from the late art dealer and billionaire Alek Wildenstein.

A woman later said she was spending about 1 a million dollars a month. Her eccentric purchases included a Chanel dress worth 350 000 dollars and jewelry worth 10 million dollars.

She also had to pay about 5000 dollars for phone bills every month, which is quite possible, because at the end of 90's mobile communications were quite expensive.

A bankrupt woman insists that her financial problems are not the result of cost overruns, but were caused by confusion with the highway fund, which transferred money after her divorce. According to her, the guarantors of the fund were the picture of Diego Velázquez, which turned out to be a fake, as well as the work of Cezanne, which was sold cheaper than expected.

Wildenstein often appears on the covers of magazines and newspapers, all because of her unusual face, which can be considered an example of an unsuccessful plastics.
