PHOTOS Jocelyn Wildenstein – before and after $4,000,000 of plastic surgery

Jocelyn Wildenstein, a wealthy socialite and ex-wife of billionaire art-dealer heir Alec Wildenstein, has reportedly spent over $4 million on plastic surgery in an attempt to look more like the exotic wild cats she admires. Because of this hobby, Jocelyn has been often nicknamed “Cat Woman” in the press. As part of her 1999 divorce deal with Alec, the judge ruled that Jocelyn could not spend any of her alimony from Alec on plastic surgery.

Jocelyn met Alec in 1977 through billionaire Saudi arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi. They fell in love hunting lions on Alec’s Kenyan game ranch (good old billionaires! And he was a billionaire in the 70s, so that’s like a Googlaire in today’s money.) It was exactly those lions that did her in, though. She allegedly later told plastic surgeons that she wanted to look like big cats.

They married in 1978 in Vegas, and divorced in 1999 after Jocelyn discovered he had been cheating on her. They had two children together. Alec died of cancer February 2008 at the age of 67.

Here’s what Jocelyn looked like before she started her plastic surgery journey:
