Jocelyne Wildenstein, the New York socialite most commonly known by the moniker “Catwoman” for her appearance due to numerous plastic surgeries, has died at 84.

The Swiss-born ex-wife of billionaire Alec Wildenstein died Tuesday in Paris from a pulmonary embolism according a statement from her companion, Lloyd Klein, to Agence France-Presse. The news was first reported by French gossip outlet Paris Match.

The former couple divorced in 1999 after more than 20 years of marriage and the birth of two children. In the divorce settlement, Jocelyne Wildenstein was granted $2.5 billion in addition to $100 million annual payments over the next 13 years. Yet her extravagant lifestyle depleted that fortune to $0 according to her 2018 Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing.

Wildenstein was born Jocelyne Périsset in Lausanne, Switzerland on May 8, 1940. She first hit the socialite scene when she began dating Swiss film producer Cyril Piguet when she was just 17.

In 1973, Wildenstein gained her first and only film credit in “Servez-vous mesdames” (which translates in English to “Help yourself, ladies”).

She later dated another European producer, Italian Sergio Gobbi, and spent time between Africa and Europe.

Wildenstein and her future ex-husband Alec were introduced by Saudi arms dealer and socialite Adnan Khashoggi. They eloped in Las Vegas in 1978 after a brief romance. Little more than a year after tying the knot, Jocelyne and Alec underwent “his and her eyelifts,” according to several interviews given over the years. This would be the first of many procedures that led Jocelyne Wildenstein to the appearance for which she became famous.

The Wildensteins’ union came to a tumultuous end beginning in 1997 when Jocelyne says she found her husband in bed with a young Russian model. The Wildensteins maintained differing narratives on the confrontation, with Jocelyne saying Alec pulled a gun on her and Alec saying he thought his wife was an intruder.

Thus began a contentious divorce proceeding that would capture the attention of international gossip media as it dragged on for nearly two years. Wildenstein would continue to grab headlines for decades due to her lavish spending habits and the transformation of her face due to numerous cosmetic procedures.

Wildenstein is survived by her two children, Diane and Alec Jr.
