Dead at 85, Lee Radziwill Left Her Whole Fortune to Just One Person
Dead at 85, Lee Radziwill Left Her Whole Fortune to Just One Person
Lee Radziwill, the free-spirited ex-princess who, like her older sister, Jacqueline Kennedy, was wealthy, ambitious, and of high social standing, recently passed at the age of 85. Lee lived a life constantly being squared against Jacqueline, who was President John F. Kennedy's wife and one of the most recognized ladies in the world. However, Lee was by herself an independent woman who was also a fashion star and global socialite who appeared on lists of the most well-dressed ladies for many years. Her interests in art, music, dancing, and poetry were well known, but she was mostly viewed as Jacqueline’s sister despite her exploits. So let's take a look at Lee's life, who all her wealth goes to now that she's passed, and all her accomplishments which were hidden behind her sister's shadow.
I met her in the late 80’s. She was elegant, classy and quite personable. She also is the subject of one of my more humorous interactions with the rich and famous….maybe I’ll write a book someday. RIP Princess Lee
Of course she left it to her daughter. Who else do you expect her to leave it to? If she left it to someone else, then there would be a story.
So sweet that Caroline was named after her.💖💝
Jaclyn was known as a first lady. But Lee Raziwill made a name for herself. R.I.P.❤
I believe she truly loved her daughter for her lifetime and it was proven in her last Will and testament. RIP
Very stylish and her homes were beautifully decorated.
Thank you for a thorough tribute to a classy lady.
Informative and well done. I now have a logical understanding of the source for the disharmony between the sisters. I really believe that Jacqueline suffered an emotional breakdown after the amount of tragedy she endured. I'm glad that Lee found a niche and friends who were hers!
They sure found money attractive. Some of the wealthy men they chased were not lookers. 😳
Such a beautiful and elegant woman.
So sad how Caroline Kennedy aged so prematurely. She endured so much grieve since her childhood. Amazing families creating so much history. Their contribution to thd country lives on after they are gone under so unfortunate sad circumstances. Life is a journey worth traveled. R I P.
Lee was a beautiful woman. I have empathy for her though with always being the second fiddle to her sister. I enjoyed learning about her. She was a lovely soul.
Siblings are always compared. She did right leaving wealth to her daughter keeping it in family. She was a privileged woman. Honestly there are millions of women who could do better given her fortunes and luck. RIP
I remember her. Lee was a beautiful woman like Jackie. 😊
Well, at least Jacqueline named her daughter after her sister❤
She was very stylish, elegant and gifted.
From second best to a complete self-made success. I admire Lee very much. May she be having a beautiful life in heaven
Lee didn't need any money from Jacqueline. Lee made it on her own, and she was wealthy when she died.
So glad you said that! I've always thought the same. Her eyes were unusually far apart. Lee was prettier.
They may have started off rich but It was told they became poor by rich people's standards but had a family name. Tell the real truth about these people. especially when you still have people living who know the truth.
Glad she left it to her daughter, who any good mom would gave done so!
I think it was horrible she left her daughter when her daughter needed her. Lee's daughter lived with her Aunt, Jackie Kennedy. I think Lee Raziwill was selfish, self-centered. I didn't like the way she left a child like that. The rest is fluff.
I always thought of her as a stunningly beautiful and very stylish lady. 😊
So many marriages for money ...!!!
I always thought Lee was far more beautiful than her sister, Jackie. Thier story is reminiscent to Princess Margaret and Queen Elizabeth. Living in the shadow of an older and more famous sister has no other place to go than jealousy. Who knows what would have happened if Jack had lived, and Onnassis had been out of the picture.
Truman Capote....lawd have mercy
Ill never understand how any woman could find Aristotle attractive! Money doesnt patch up a mans faults enough to make him desirable! And being born famous and rich does not make a person an Icon! They had no idea what life on earth is really about.
May God bring Ms. Lee Radziwill to Heaven! With Condolences!
Lee is more beautiful than Jackie.. in my opinion
One of a kind! RIP xoxo
Thanks enjoyed it
I love learning new things like this, it's so interesting.
Both sisters are American icons ❤️❤️
She died in 2019. She didn’t just pass.
Wow! Such a fantastic story.
I thought she was absolutely stunning 🤩 and very, very classy ❤
She was a beautiful woman throughout her life; and very accomplished.
She died on 15th February 2019
I truly hope they had a relationship with Jesus. 🙏🏻
I get the feeling that Lee was not pleased by her daughters appearance. In that world appearance is everything.
This happened years ago! Her daughter Tina, is a wonderful person!
I always thought she was much more interesting than her sister.
She was very pretty and you could see she was elegant. I think she was more attractive than Jackie. RIP Lee
She was much prettier than Jackie
So beautiful & stylish woman. Hard to say anything else without knowing her.
In my opinion, Lee is more attractive than her sister. She has a 'softer' face than Jackie.
Great presentation 👏👏
I always thought she was prettier than Jackie.
I never knew what to think of Jackie...Now i do. Lee had more class in death & outdid her sister, again.
Goes to show, money can't buy you love.
RIP. Lee Raziwell. She was elegant, well read and had a lifestyle that many envied. Black Jack Bouvier left an impressionable mark on his kids. Nonetheless, the kids thrived on their own and went on to great accomplishments.
If you were alive in the early ‘60s you knew who she and her sister were.
What a Beautiful woman. I never thought Jackie was pretty.
It’s uncanny at how much Jackie and my mom looked like. They could have been twins.
I was their travel agent, whenever they came to Palm Springs. Lee was unable to make decisions on her own.
I had to have her met and escorted from plane to plane to hotel.
Jackie was money oriented.
It must have been hard for Lee to always live in the shadow of Jacqueline Kennedy. She was just as pretty and intelligent as her sister, Jackie.
She was much prettier then Jackie, it's a rough life being rich abd famous! All families have tough times and relationships aren't always easy!
The older she got the more she looked like Nancy Reagan.
Onassis didnt have enough money to cover up that mug!
She lived an interesting life it seems.
She had great taste. ❤
Didn’t she have a son too?
Classy woman ! 😎
beautiful lady ⚘️
She was a beautiful woman. She was a unique individual who did have her own life. Hurt many times she always picked the wrong mate. To be so deeply hurt by her own blood sister is something we never knew about spoiled heartless Jacqueline Wow shameful. I wish everything had gone to her daughter but she was even jealous of her Moms beauty . She made a good life for herself but no one can forget the mental and emotional pain that she felt. Her Dad was the first to omit her as he paid all attentions to her. Lee may you rest in peace. Heaven will be good to you!!!❤🙏❤️❤️
really impressive woman, with so beautiful elegancy probably much more talented in many things than her sister Jackie
She was quite a vicious woman. She was always jealous of Jackie, especially when Onasis dated her first and then married Jackie ! She was typical of that kind of social circle. Always looking for that wealthy man to marry !
Can you imagine being Lee and children leaving you. I wonder if it was just weight, though Lee seemed extremely thin
Thank you for classy lady and family.
Lee was very kind when she reached out to Big and Little Edie in Hamptons. ❤
God bless
Jacqueline Kennedy was famous for the men she married. Lee made a name for herself without a man. Jackie went on to do some career but Lee did more in the way of career than Jackie did.
Wieczny odpoczynek racz jej dać Panie!
She died 5 years ago.
How sad for her son.
R I P Beautiful lady.
Radziwił was royalty in Poland 🇵🇱
She was beautiful ❤!
Lovely lady. She looked a LOT like Judge Judy in her most latter years. 🤭🤫😁
Lee was much prettier.
Jacqueline used her sister to shop for her in Europe and bring styles back to the USA
Black Jack was a disgrace and the Bouvier girls had to live in the shadow of his behavior. It’s not surprising that neither girl had the happy marriage they desired.
Lee’s daughter may benefit from bangs. 🤔
Wow! I didn’t know they were already rich before married!
I think Onassis was after Jackie all along, only dated Lee to get closer to Jackie. She should have held more animosity tward him and not her sister Jackie 🙄 😒 😢
Sorry for your loss
May this great woman Rest in Peace.
RIP
Too thin, too rich.
Just like so many single men and women who die with unexpected wealth-Lee and those like her: Do so to show to not judge people by their outside appearance (or rumors) but the person inside-which may be a surprise at their death 😜. Laughing before death thinking we fooled them all!!
My favorite was Jacqueline,but Lee was also, Beautiful and elegant.
Lee was much more beautiful than Jacquiline...
Tory Burch designed a bag named after her
AUNT LEE.....SHE WAS GOOD TO ME HER HUSBAND SENT ME AWAY....
I wonder why Carole, her daughter-in-law didn’t get anything from her well
Beautiful true lady ❤️
SHE WAS AN AMAZING LADY!
I liked her! Very elegant.
Lee is by far more attractive
