Ammon News - Socialite Jocelyn Wildenstein, who was known for her extreme plastic surgery and record divorce settlement, has died.

The 84-year-old – who was nicknamed Catwoman, reportedly because she had her numerous procedures done in the aim of looking feline – suffered a pulmonary embolism and passed away in a palace in Paris on Tuesday, according to local reports.

“Her partner Lloyd Klein is saddened to announce the death of Jocelyn Wildenstein in Paris,” according to AFP, reported Paris Match.

Ms Wildenstein, born Jocelyne Périsset, appeared healthy when she was last seen in the French capital with Mr Klein a mere two weeks ago.

Alongside her looks, Ms Wildenstein – who described herself as an art dealer on Instagram, where she had 1.1 million followers – was also known for her immense divorce settlement of $2.5 billion (£1.7 billion).
