Lloyd Klein, the fiancé of socialite Jocelyn Wildenstein, is speaking out after her passing, defending her legacy and financial status.
Wildenstein, often called “Catwoman” due to her distinctive appearance, passed away on New Year’s Eve at 79 from a pulmonary embolism in a Paris hotel.
Despite reports of financial struggles, Klein insists she was not broke.
She once received a $2.5 billion divorce settlement from billionaire Alec Wildenstein, but financial disputes and legal battles later affected her wealth.
Klein, a well-known designer, was by her side for 21 years and describes her as the love of his life.
He recalls her humor, resilience, and deep love for her children, even though they were estranged in recent years.
Her daughter, Diane, is arranging the funeral.
Klein hopes to scatter Jocelyn’s ashes at her beloved ranch in Kenya. “She left this world in full glamour,” he said, vowing to honor her memory.
