Billionaire Cat-lady went Bankrupt

This is old news, but I missed it. Check out this biography:
Jocelyn Wildenstein[a] (née Jocelyne Alice Périsset; (7 September 1940[b] – 31 December 2024) was a Swiss socialite[5] known for her extensive cosmetic surgery, which created a cat-like facial appearance; her 1999 high-profile divorce from billionaire art dealer and businessman Alec Wildenstein;[6][7] and her extravagant lifestyle and subsequent bankruptcy filing. ...

Wildenstein received $2.5 billion in her divorce settlement (although this amount has been rumored to be as high as $3.8 billion[29]) and $100 million each year for the following 13 years.

I do not understand how anyone could squander that much money. She went broke after the $100M payments stopped.

The woman apparently had far more dollars than sense.
