The famous "Catwoman" Jocelyn Wildenstein, who spent millions of dollars on her appearance, has died. Photos before and after plastic surgery

At the age of 84, the life of Swiss socialite Jocelyn Wildenstein, who was nicknamed the "Catwoman" after undergoing a large number of plastic surgeries, has ended. Her heart stopped on Tuesday, December 31, due to a pulmonary embolism.

According to the Daily Mail, the tragic news was reported by the billionaire's fiancé, designer Lloyd Klein. The woman passed away in her sleep at her estate in Paris.

Jocelyn Wildenstein was born into an ordinary Swiss family, but her life changed dramatically when she married French-born American billionaire Alec N. Wildenstein in the 1970s. Her chosen one was the son of the famous art dealer and horse breeder Daniel Wildenstein, and his family headed the Wildenstein & Co.

According to the "cat woman," the couple met at her future husband's family's ranch in Kenya, where she decided to come because she had been fascinated by Africa since childhood. At the time, Alec N. Wildenstein was aiming to kill a lion that was hunting antelope, so the Swiss woman went with him. In one of her interviews, she said that her future husband killed the animal with one shot, after which they rubbed the blood of the mammal on their necks.

Jocelyn Wildenstein made headlines during her divorce from her chosen one in 2000. The ex-spouses' versions of the reasons for the breakup differed. Alec N. Wildenstein claimed that he filed for divorce because of the "catwoman's" excessive spending on cosmetic procedures. The billionaire said: "She thought she could fix her face like a piece of furniture. Skin doesn't work like that. But she didn't listen."

For her part, the socialite noted that it was she who put an end to their married life because of her lover's infidelity. At the time, Jocelyn Wildenstein received about $2.5 billion, and her ex-husband was to pay her $100 million annually for 13 years.

It is worth noting that despite all the accusations of her ex-husband, the Swiss woman often denied that she had ever been under the knife of a plastic surgeon. Comparing the photos of Jocelyn Wildenstein at a younger and older age, one can see that her eye slit has changed to a cat-like shape, her chin has changed and her cheekbones have enlarged. However, the witness attributed her unusual appearance to her Swiss ancestry.

"I haven't had plastic surgery, I'm afraid of what might happen. I don't like Botox, everyone has their own reaction to it. I've had Botox only twice. I don't know if I'm allergic, but when I had it done, I didn't really like it. I didn't get a good result, and my face was swollen," she said.

In 2003, Jocelyn Wildenstein began dating fashion designer Lloyd Klein. Their relationship could hardly be called calm, as the couple broke up and resumed their relationship many times. In 2016, they had a violent quarrel, and the socialite cut her boyfriend's face with scissors, which led to her arrest. A few days later, the same fate awaited Klein, who was accused of robbery and assault after he allegedly tried to take some of his belongings from the woman's apartment. However, the couple eventually reunited.
