Jocelyn Wildenstein is a famous 73 year old style icon and New York socialite with an estimated net worth of $500 million. Dubbed as the “Catwoman” due to her feline like features courtesy of surgical enhancement procedures, this wealthy socialite was born in Lausanne, Switzerland in 1940 from a rich Brazilian family. In her younger years she was a skilled hunter and a well trained small plane pilot. Her love for game hunting and exotic animals led to meeting her wealthy husband which she eventually married in 1978 in Las Vegas Nevada. She got divorced from her rich late husband art dealer and collector Alec N. Wildenstein in 1999. Their union produced one boy and one girl (Alec Jr. and Diane). She is fascinated with exotic animals (Capuchin monkeys and greyhounds) and an extravagant high society lifestyle. Her colorful life and love story became an inspiration for a 2010 musical produced and starred by La based artist and famous puppeteer Marsian de Lellis.
