The Mysterious Life of Huguette Clark | The Vanishing Heiress

Once one of the wealthiest women in America, Huguette Clark was born into unimaginable privilege at the height of the Gilded Age. Her father was a copper baron and U.S. senator, her homes included sprawling mansions on Fifth Avenue and a cliffside estate in Santa Barbara, and her fortune rivaled that of the Vanderbilts. But while the rest of New York's elite lived in the spotlight, Huguette slowly and deliberately disappeared.

By the 1980s, she had vanished from public life entirely. No galas. No interviews. Not even so much as a photograph. For decades, she lived in near-total seclusion. Not in any of her lavish homes, but in a hospital room, with no medical need to be there. And when she died in 2011 at the age of 104, her passing ignited one of the most sensational legal battles in modern inheritance history.

Why did Huguette abandon the world she was born to rule? What secrets lay hidden in the locked rooms of her empty mansions? And who really deserved her multimillion-dollar fortune?
