'Catwoman' Jocelyn Wildenstein Dead At 84

Swiss-born New York socialite Jocelyn Wildenstein, often referred to in the media as 'Catwoman' due to her surgically enhanced cat-like features, has died at the age of 84.

Paris Match reports Wildenstein passed away in a Parisian palace on Tuesday in Paris from a pulmonary embolism.

Wildenstein -- famous for her dramatic feline-like cosmetic transformation -- married billionaire art dealer Alec Wildenstein in 1978, and their subsequent divorce in 1999 was widely publicized.

Jocelyn, who was known for her extravagant lifestyle, reportedly received $2.5 billion and $100 million each year for the following 13 years in her divorce settlement from Alec ... only to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 2018, claiming she had $0 in her bank account.

Wildenstein started her surgical process with an eye lift in the late '70s, with many speculating she wanted her eyes to look like that of a lynx, which she kept as a pet.

Wildenstein admitted to having surgical procedures, however, she claimed not nearly as much as was reported in the media.
