Who Were The Most Spoiled Heiresses Of All Times?
Being the heir of a family fortune, titles and companies can be overwhelming, and when you’re an heiress, it gets a lot more complicated. Be it spoiled, down to earth or just terrible people, stories about heiresses are quite fun to read.
Some include scandals, others include adventures and a lot of drama.
Let’s see who were the most spoiled heiresses of all times.
Lady Henrietta Guinness
Yes, we said Guinness! Lady Henrietta Guinness was the heiress of the Guinness brewing fortune. However, we cannot say she was spoiled – but she was indeed generous to her friends.
For instance, she bought her hairdresser a $70,000 hair salon and bought her chef fiancé a $28,000 Belgravia restaurant.
Unfortunately, when she was 20 years old, she was in a car crash and it led to lengthy hospitalization and depression which were probably what caused her to take her own life 15 years later as she climbed up Ponte delle Torri bridge…
Louise Boyd
Louise Boyd, the heiress to the Bodie Gold Bonanza of 1877 didn’t want to live her days with the refined people, so she chose to explore the Arctic and even made a few discoveries!
That led to King of Norway giving her a medal and naming part of Greenland in her honor – Louise Boyd Land.
Nancy Astor
This one is a bit complicated, because she was beloved for her kind nature – she fought for women’s rights and was part of many charities, but she also supported Nazis before WWII.
Let’s go fast forward to the 21st century…
Paris Hilton
When you say “spoiled heiress,” you think of the 21st century Hilton heiress – Paris Hilton. While most of her grandfather’s Hilton hotel fortune is sent to charities, Paris has made a name for herself, showing up in infamous tapes, reality shows, tabloids, and so on.
