Huguette secluded herself from the world for more than half a century, becoming an Internet sensation just before her death at age 104, when her three empty mansions in California, New York, and Connecticut were discovered. An elder-abuse investigation was opened into the handling of her $300 million fortune, her Stradivarius violin, and her paintings by Degas and Renoir. A battle over her copper inheritance ensued, pitting her distant family against her nurse, doctor, hospital and others she named to receive millions in one of the two wills she signed. Это и многое другое вы найдете в книге EMPTY MANSIONS (DEDMAN, BILL)
