Jocelyn passed away on December 31, 2024
When others were celebrating the start of 2025 or while they were preparing to go out to party, Jocelyn Wildenstein unfortunately passed away. It is said she passed away peacefully in her Paris Hotel Suite. At the time of her death, she was 84 years old, and her partner was with her. Apparently, the couple laid down to nap before getting dressed for a New Year’s Eve party. However, when Lloyd Klein tried to wake up Jocelyn, he found out she had passed away in her sleep.
Jocelyn Wildenstein didn’t care what others said
News outlets or gossip magazines often criticize socialites who are well known for their looks and the way they spend the money of their partner. Jocelyn Wildenstein was a victim of this, too. She was often scrutinized for her cat-inspired plastic surgeries.
Apparently, she had spent over 2 million pounds on surgeries, inspired by her husband’s love of big cats. When they were still married, the couple even kept a pet Lynx. In the end, the marriage ended in a high-profile divorce. Jocelyn fought hard and received a $2.5 billion settlement. This settlement came with added restrictions on further cosmetic enhancements to her body.
Despite the things that were said about Jocelyn Wildenstein, she embraced her unique image. She once said: “Journalists can say whatever they like. It’s really not my problem.” Her life at Ol Jogi, the Wildenstein family’s Kenyan ranch, reflected her love for animals, particularly leopards.
The Dailybase team would like to express their deepest condolences to Jocelyn’s family, friends, and other affected parties.
