On December 31, Jocelyn Wildenstein, the renowned socialite dubbed “Catwoman” due to her unique appearance, passed away in Paris at 84.
Her funeral arrangements and final wishes were disclosed by her longstanding partner, fashion designer Lloyd Klein.Wildenstein’s corpse will be cremated, and her ashes will be transported to a ranch in Kenya, where her parents’ remains are interred, as reported by the Daily Mail.A modest, private funeral service will be conducted in Paris initially, according to Klein, who was present during her final moments.
Additionally, Klein informed the media outlets that it was “appropriate” for Wildenstein to return to a location she held high regard.Furthermore, her mother’s remains were dispersed on the Kenyan ranch, and her father is interred there. The ranch is also sentimental to her, as it was a significant part of her early existence.
Klein clarified in the publication that Wildenstein died in her slumber as a result of complications from phlebitis, a chronic medical condition that causes inflammation in the veins.Additionally, the condition resulted in swelling in her legs and restricted oxygen flow to her brain, which directly contributed to her mortality.
Klein told People, “She was extremely content and at the peak of her abilities,” as they discussed their intentions to commemorate New Year’s Eve. It is a tragedy that she had already passed away when he roused her from a slumber.Additionally, Wildenstein achieved global recognition due to her opulent lifestyle and her highly publicized divorce from billionaire Alec N. Wildenstein in 2000, which resulted in a record-breaking settlement of $2.5 billion.After becoming a high-society icon, she encountered financial difficulties and reportedly lost much of her fortune.
