MFOB FEATURED BOOK: Empty Mansions: The Mysterious Life of Huguette Clark and the Spending of a Great American Fortune
Reclusive heiress Huguette Clark, who owned several palatial homes yet lived for twenty years in a simple hospital room despite being in excellent health, is at the heart of this rich mystery of wealth and loss that connects the Gilded Age opulence of the 19th century with a 21st century battle over a $300 million inheritance. Was 104-year-old Huguette Clark in control of her fortune or was she controlled by those managing her money?
