WOMEN OF MEANS (MANGO MEDIA)

Heiresses have always been viewed with eyes of envy. They are the ones for whom the cornucopia had been upended, showering them with unimaginable wealth and opportunity. However, through intimate historical biographies, this book reveals how often the destinies of wealthy women turn tragic. Some of the women whose silver spoons rusted include Liliane Bettencourt, whose chemist father created L’Oreal, and was a Nazi collaborator; Jocelyn Wildenstein, who became a cosmetology-enhanced cat-woman; and Patty Hearst, who trod the path from heiress to terrorist.
