I haven't talked about his beauty and celebrity in those years for a while, and at the beginning of the 20th century, America's big trench and their daughters basically grew up in the melon fields, especially those heiresses with huge wealth, and the accompanying bloody emotional stories are indeed enough to tell for three days and three nights.
Today's protagonist is Doris Duke, who has appeared before and is the third wife of the strongest *** Rubirosa.
So let's start from the beginning.
Born in New York in 1912, Doris is the only child of tobacco and hydroelectric tycoon James Duke and his second wife, Nanaline. James is such a child, Nanalyn is married for the second time, and Doris has a half-brother.
Judging from the card, it is basically the preset that tears vigorously after n years = =
In 1925, James died, and the heir to the estate was naturally his widow and only daughter, Doris. In order to prevent his daughter from being targeted by gangsters, the old father did his best, he set up the Duke Trust early**, and named Doris to get a certain share at the age of 21, 25 and 30.
James's inheritance is relatively mixed, and the total amount is about 22 billion US dollars in 22 years, which is enough for Doris, who was only 13 years old at the time, to be considered one of the richest girls in the world.
But perhaps what James didn't expect was that before he reached adulthood, Doris started a lawsuit against his inheritance, and the other party was his own mother and other estate executors.
At that time, Doris was mainly trying to regain control of the Manhattan mansion and Duke Manor, which she believed were precious memories with her father and should not be sold easily.
At the age of 15, Doris tore to win, and Duke Farm opened to the public from 1964, home James BThe Duke House was donated later and is now home to the New York University School of Fine Arts.
By the time she reached adulthood in 1930, Doris, who was 183 tall, had great wealth and good looks, and quickly became the focus of attention in American high society.
Just looking at her face, Doris is indeed not beautiful, and her toughness is written on her face, but with the blessing of money ability, her appearance is basically not worth mentioning to her.
It's not bad, Qian Lisi can naturally play whatever she likes.
Her hobbies include singing, jazz, surfing, wildlife, gardening, traveling, art collection, etc., all of which are very expensive, and she happens to be very rich, and the personal guidance of various bigwigs is even easier.
Many parts of Duke Farm were designed by Doris.
The garden part was demolished in '08.
The women's trench does not need to work, and Doris has been to a sailor's canteen in Egypt to serve dishes, worked as a war correspondent, and also wrote for some newspapers and magazines in order to experience life.
Gardening and art collecting need carriers, which is why Doris loves to buy a house. She has multiple properties around the world, each with different styles of interiors, art collections and garden designs.
Hawaii's own villa, now managed by the ** Society, is a museum.
It is said that it is difficult for Doris to stay in one place for a long time, and when she arrives at a certain place, she starts to want to go to the next place. To make it easier to fly around, she even bought a Boeing 737 herself
In terms of private life, Doris is decent, not like Ms. M, who is not touched by the leaves and is not tied by men, but she is not as miserable as Barbara Horton who has been squeezed out of her property by strange men from all walks of life.
She had two marriages, the first husband was James Cromwell, who was a little rich, and it is said that the marriage was mainly to get rid of the control of her own mother.
The marriage lasted 8 years, and Doris spent a lot of money to support her husband's political career. It's a pity that James is not quite this piece of material, and he can't make anything.
At the age of 28, Doris gave birth to her only child, a premature baby girl named Arden, who lived only one day. It is said that Doris injured her body and lost her fertility as a result, which also laid the groundwork for her bloody childbirth in her later years.
The second is the *** Rubi Rosa who was known for being so big and so good, and in order to get her favor as soon as possible, Doris directly threw a check for 100w US dollars to Rubirosa's ex-wife so that she could divorce quickly.
Doris had her second marriage lasting just over a year, ending with Rubirosa reaping a huge fortune and millions worth of gifts (that was in the '40s).
Since then, Doris has not stepped into marriage again, but she will certainly not be lonely, and her lovers include actresses, politicians, pianists, writers, surfers, etc. In addition, he engages in art and charity, and his life is colorful.
In the 60s, Doris was halfway through her life, and there were two things worth mentioning. The first was the death of her own mother in 62, and she inherited an additional 2$500 million.
The second is that in 65 Doris was accused of killing her friend + interior designer Eduardo Terrella.
The investigation report said that Doris mistakenly used the brake for the accelerator, which crushed Eduardo, who was standing by the door, and knocked him down, causing death. But after a more serious reporter investigated, he found that there was a lot of evidence that did not match, thinking that Doris resigned to Hollywood because of a grudge against Eduardo, and after a fierce quarrel, he deliberately knocked him down in a fit of anger and repeatedly crushed him to death.
Because Doris was so rich, the case was found to be manslaughter and the case was hastily closed. Doris gave the Edwards family about $470,000 in compensation, and also donated a large sum of money in Newport, the city where the crime occurred, which is also believed to be using money to cover up the facts.
Of course, money also has something that can't be done, that is, to fight against birth, old age, sickness and death.
In her later years, Doris suffered from health problems, did not stand firm during the recovery period of plastic surgery, fell and fractured, had to replace both knee joints, and was discharged from the hospital after surgery and suffered a stroke.
Three months after the stroke, Doris died at home at the age of 80 due to cardiac arrest due to progressive pulmonary edema.
According to the will, Doris did not do anything in vain, but scattered her ashes into the Pacific Ocean after cremation, presumably meaning to continue to travel around the world after death.
As long as the female trench is not cheated of money by men, it really doesn't cost much to eat, drink, and have fun, fly around, buy jewelry, and engage in art. Doris's property has always been managed by a special person, and she has a good eye for buying art collections, and finally left a huge fortune of about 5.3 billion yuan in 22 years.
This is no longer an astronomical amount that can be simply described with fat, coupled with Doris's frequent revision of the will in her later years, although theoretically the main heirs of the estate are various charities, there are still countless people who are grabbing their heads for a piece of the pie. The lawsuit has been fought for 10,086 rounds, and all kinds of tears have been scattered, and the melons can't be eaten at all.
A few points are briefly summarized:
Doris adopted 35-year-old Chandy Hefner as her adopted daughter in her later years, and she insisted that Chandy was the reincarnation of her own daughter who died young, but the two broke up, and Doris denied the adoption in the final version of her will, saying that she did not want Chandy to get the money from her father's trust. However, it is generally possible to tear the inheritance of the trench until it is evenly touched to reconcile, and Chandy finally got 65 million dollars.
The executor of the estate is Bernard Lovedy, the butler, who is torn from behind, saying that he coaxed the delirious Doris and took control of her property, and even said that he and the doctor collaborated to use drugs to hasten Doris's death. Bernard also lived 3 years longer than his former employer, and everything was over.
The final personal heir was Doris's nephew, Walker Inman, the son of Doris's half-brother at the beginning. Walker became an orphan at the age of 6, not to mention his aunt Doris, his grandmother Nanaline left him tens of millions in the 60s. Rich + no one cares about him, he became a rotten person who indulged in lustful dogs and horses, and finally disappeared from drugs without accident.
Walker's two children are the famous Inman twins, who were unable to see their own mothers after their parents' divorce, and were abused by their fathers and stepmothers who were stupid with drugs, and were called "the poorest rich children".
It was 13 years since the incident broke out, and the brother and sister were 15 years old, and then they lived with their mother. At that time, the information said that they could unlock the achievement when they were 21 years old, that is, to inherit a fortune of about 1 billion dollars, and the time had already come, and there was no further news at least to show that the two were living a low-key life, and I wish them good luck.
Compared with people, there are relatively few moths in charitable organizations, at least the ** association of the same name is still in operation.
Finally, let's take a look at Doris's jewelry. In those years, there was no shortage of jewelry in his beauty trenches, and she didn't have many buyer shows, most of them were hard photos of auctions, magic beans wearing, etc.
In '04, Christie's sold more than $11 million.
Cartier crown + necklace, the crown was bought back by the brand.
It is still a Cartier necklace, and it is said that Doris was involved in the design.
Cartier necklace No. 3, large rock sugar.
D**id Webb's ruby pearl necklace.
Turquoise necklace by D**ID Webb.
Matching earrings (automatic x2 is sufficient).

There are other stones in between, but they're too big.

I don't have much information about anything else.
Finally, at the end, I accidentally found that Doris was named for a kind of dahlias, which was really gorgeous......
