Extremely interesting story to follow. VERY well written article. What a path this has taken. To me, she squandered a substantial fortune through bad business advice and decisions. Perhaps husband no. 3 is pivotal in what took place.
A very sad story indeed. To have it and then it's poof gone-well, that's tragic.

she'll latch onto another rich husband and divorce him. they always do. what's your net worth like?

Hardly tragic. She is not even working class. Tragic is children in America living in poverty, growing up in gangs, and in vast trailer park, or ratty apartment ghettos. The rich know that money doesn't buy happiness, what they don't know is how much poverty shapes who one becomes.

It's just another case of too much ambition, not enough wisdom & a lack of proper planning. It could have been a great winery (andd still can be) but she lacks patience. She set her expectations simply too high and her spending outstripped her level of wealth. Hopefully the property will be bought up by someone with a better business sense than she was gifted (or cursed) with.

Yes JLS, she did lose all of her cash and belongs due to her bad business choices however, if you let the right-wingers tell the "story", it's all the Presidents fault. LOL I just love how they can take a story such as this and then turn into a b*tch feast about someone who had NO HAND in her decision making?? I get such a chuckle from it. Thanks guys. Thanks for my chuckle of the day. (Yep, still LMAO) One thing I know for certain... I can ALWAYS count on you guys!! :D
BTW, What a jewelry collection!! I'm envious of the lady who now owns the Yellow Diamond pieces. Now I wouldn't pay that kind of money, even if I were rich but hey, to each her own... right? ;D

JLS - you and I have a completely different understanding of the definition of the word 'tragic'. I think the word you are searching for is 'stupid', or perhaps 'moronic', maybe even 'imbecilic', but certainly not tragic.
She and her husband still live in a $3+ million home. Tragic is a homeless shelter full of single moms and kids trying not to starve and/or freeze to death. Tragic is a family losing everything because the sole supporter passed away suddenly and they were without life insurance.
Please consult your dictionary.
