1924. New York City. A 12-year-old girl's grandmother dies and leaves her $26.1 million. By the time she turns 21, her father has grown it to $42 million. Add another $8 million from her mother's side, and Barbara Hutton is sitting on roughly $50 million, worth close to a billion dollars today. While breadlines stretch around city blocks in the middle of the Great Depression, she's one of the richest women alive on the planet. Then come the husbands. Seven of them. A count, two princes, a diplomat, a movie star. Six walk away with a piece of her fortune.

Barbara Hutton dies alone in a hotel with only $3,500 in the bank. Only 16 people show up to say goodbye to a woman who once had more money than some countries.
