Extremely rich and unhappy II

While researching, I came across so many women who became rich against their will and were therefore unhappy. Because being rich is a kind of celebrity multiplied by a thousand. If actresses already wonder whether someone wants to be with them for who they are or because of their status, then this problem is completely present among wealthy heiresses. Because do people like you for your generous laugh and your witty one-liners or because of those nine zeros in your bank account?

1. Allegra Versace
Donatella Versace's daughter always had a special bond with her uncle Gianni. He took her to all imaginable museums. They shared a great love for art. While Allegra was chilling a bit with her brother in front of the TV, they saw in a breaking news broadcast the house of her uncle in Miami with the news that he had been murdered there. Traumatic for Allegra, who was only eleven at the time. Because her mother and Gianni's other brother, Santo, didn't get along very well, Gianni gifted Allegra his 50 percent share of the company. This left Donatella with 20 percent, Santo with 30 percent, and little Allegra with the rest. But Allegra didn't want it. She wanted to disappear. Almost literally. She struggled with anorexia for years and stayed as much in the background as possible. In New York, she worked as a theatrical dresser and used her father's name, Beck, as much as possible to avoid drawing attention. Her estimated fortune hovers around 800 million dollars, but she would have preferred not to have it.

2. Henrietta Guinness
The immensely wealthy, aristocratic Guinness family (yes, from the beer) was also not born for happiness. They suffered unparalleled misery. A low point of sadness is the story of Henrietta. She didn't know what to do with her wealth, bought a salon for her hairdresser for 70,000 dollars, and just gifted someone else 25,000 dollars. In 1978, she was driving with her beloved in his Aston Martin along the French Riviera when they were involved in a serious car accident. To find peace on all fronts, she fled to Italy where she ultimately jumped off a bridge and took her own life. ‘If I had been poor, I would have been happier.’

There are undoubtedly examples of heirs who have shaped their lives in a good way (Johnny de Mol, for example), but if you find yourself at the end of your money with still a bit of month left, you should remember that money does not bring happiness. At least not when it is present in too much abundance.
