Celebrity Divorces That Ripped Fortunes Apart And Left Egos In The Gutter

Alec and Jocelyn Wildenstein – Settlement: $2.5 Billion

She once ruled tabloids and high‑society gossip, but Jocelyn Wildenstein, the notorious “Catwoman,” closed her final chapter in Paris on December 31, 2024, following a life that read like a surreal soap opera. Alec Wildenstein, heir to an art dynasty, first set her eyes on her in Kenya around 1977, and they exchanged vows in Las Vegas in 1978.

Unfortunately, their extravagant world came crashing down in 1999 when she discovered Alec with a model and even faced a gunpoint threat. The divorce garnished her a mind‑boggling $2.5 billion plus $100 million per year for 13 years, though a judge forbade cosmetic surgery with that money.
