“Catwoman” Jocelyn Wildenstein died on Wednesday, according to fiancé Lloyd Klein.
The socialite was 84 years old.
“Her partner Lloyd Klein is saddened to announce the death of Jocelyn Wildenstein in Paris,” the fashion designer told AFP, claimed the Daily Mail.
Klein reportedly told the outlet that Wildenstein died of a pulmonary embolism while in a Parisian palace.
The 57-year-old began dating his late fiancée in 2003, and the couple got engaged 14 years later.
She was previously married to art dealer Alec N. Wildenstein, with the duo eloping in Las Vegas in April 1978.
Their high-profile divorce in 1999 left Jocelyn a billionaire.

She did tell Vanity Fair in 1998 that “the lynx has perfect eyes.”
Jocelyn said, “If I show you pictures of my grandmother, what you see is these eyes — cat eyes — and high cheekbones.”
Alec claimed to the outlet that they both got eye lifts before she continued going under the knife.
Meanwhile, one of Jocelyn’s friends noted, “I don’t think I’ve known her when she wasn’t healing from something.”
In August, Jocelyn posted a shocking throwback photo of her original face via Instagram while celebrating her and Alec’s daughter Diane’s birthday.
The former couple were also the parents of son Alec Jr..
After Alec died in 2008, Jocelyn claimed to have been cut off from her ex’s family members and filed for bankruptcy.
