Clark was certainly eccentric, and her decisions, both financial and otherwise, definitely capture the imagination. After an introduction to Clark’s fortune, Dedman moves his focus to her lifestyle and pursuits, always following the money. Here, with the assistance of Huguette’s cousin Newell, the author expands his search for information about the heiress who disappeared from public view in the 1980s-though she lived for another three decades. Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Dedman stumbled onto her tale and wrote a series of stories about the Clark family, their fortune and the mystery surrounding Huguette. At her death, she was estimated to be worth-incorrectly, as it turned out-about $500 million. Huguette Clark (1906–2011) lived for more than a century and never once wanted for money. An investigation into the secretive life of the youngest daughter and heiress to a Gilded Age copper tycoon.
