Alley Cat: "Bride Of Wildenstein" Billionaire Avoids NYC Eviction

"Yes, Grumpy Cat was the look I was going for..."

Billionaire divorcée  Jocelyn Wildenstein (AKA "The Bride of Wildenstein" AKA The "Catwoman") has avoided having her well-heeled derriere and butchered face tossed out onto the cold streets of New York City after she apparently came to terms with her landlady, who had filed a petition to have her evicted.

It seems Wildenstein (who spent millions of dollars on cosmetic surgery to look like one of her beloved pet cats) was considerably behind in her rent at her extremely lavish apartment at the iconic 845 UN Plaza tower in Manhattan. According to her landlady Fima Shusterman, Wildenstein was more than $73,000 behind in her rent on the palatial apartment when she filed eviction papers this past December.

Jocelyn, who was once a normal-looking Swiss beauty, rose to fame when her marriage to billionaire art dealer Alec Wildenstein fell apart after she discovered her husband in bed with a 19-year-old Russian lingerie model. The enraged philandering hubby pulled a gun on Jocelyn, which ended with him going to jail and a costly divorce. Jocelyn went on to receive a record-breaking $2.5 billion divorce settlement.

The 72-year old socialite certainly should have the money to cover her rent, so hopefully she won't end up living in the streets like one of the cats she so desperately wants to resemble...

Roman Holiday: Mark Zuckerberg Treats New Bride to Cheap Honeymoon Meal

He may be one of the world's youngest billionaires, but that doesn't mean Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg passes up on a bargain.

The 28-year-old billionaire, who married longtime girlfriend Priscilla Chan in a Top Secret ceremony the day after he took Facebook public on the New York Stock Exchange, proved once again that he's not a lavish spender. Jetting off to Rome for their honeymoon, the newlywed couple enjoyed a simple lunch at out-of-the-way Italian trattoria Nonna Betta, hidden in the Eternal City's Jewish Ghetto. The happy couple dined on a simple but hearty Italian repast featuring Roman style artichokes, ravioli in an artichoke sauce and fried pumpkin flowers. No alcohol was consumed by the pair, who chose to drink tea and water instead. The bill came to a very reasonable €32, around $40.


The pair also enjoyed some sight-seeing on their Roman Holiday, taking in the sights of the Sistine Chapel, Roman Forum, The Colosseum as well as famed Trevi Fountain and the Spanish Steps. The couple later enjoyed dinner at the decidedly more upscale  Pierluigi's Restaurant, where they dined on delicioso prawns Catalan style, oysters and fish carpaccio, followed by lobster pasta and flame grilled fish washed down with an expensive bottle of Chardonnay Gaia e Rei.

It may be that Zuckerberg is minding his finances very carefully, in light that his social media mega-site has lost a good portion of its pre publicly traded value. Although he might have skimped on lunch, he did fork out a pretty penny for accommodations, arriving in Rome by private jet and booking a suite at the ultra-chic Portraits Hotel owned by fashion designer Salvatore Ferragamo overlooking the Spanish Steps in Rome's fashionable Piazza di Spagna.

Let Them Eat Cake: Billionaire's Daughter Poses Nude with £1 Million Cash

While the Occupy Wall Street continues to grow and people all around the world join in the struggle to overcome the tyranny of Big Bankers that has left billions suffering and dying in abject poverty, the utterly and completely clueless daughter of Formula One UK billionaire Bernie Ecclestone has posed nude...with a million pounds in cash.

Famed photographer Tyler Shields took the candid shots of Tamara Ecclestone lying in a bed covered in £1 million notes, an homage to the Demi Moore/Robert Redford film An Indecent Proposal. (It's a given that analogy was completely lost on Ecclestone.) When the photographer wondered where they would come up with the money for the photo-shoot, Ms. Ecclestone casually informed him that she had the cash "just lying around". The plastic mannequin-like Ecclestone is also seen wearing her $10,000 Christian Laboutin heels while frying an egg and sweeping the floor, two menial chores we are absolutely certain she has never done in her life, especially when "lesser" people can do it for her. Isn't life grand?

"Let them eat cake" has never sounded more cruel...
