| 85 year Old Billionaire Lady give her fortune away for love | "Maria del Rosario Cayetana Alfonsa Victoria EugeniaFranciscaFitz-James Stuart y de Silva"(yes, that's one name) is one of the wealthiest women in all of Spain. She is worth somewhere between $850 million and $5 billion--but not for long.The Duchess of Alba, 85, is giving it all away so she can marry the man she loves.
The duchess's six children were dubious about their mother's plans to marry Alfonso Diez, a civil servant who is 24 years younger.The duchess's children were all from her first marriage to Pedro Luis Martinez de Irujo y Artazcoz, son of the Duke of Sotomayor. He died in 1972.
The duchess remarried in 1978 to a onetime Jesuit priest named Jesus Aguirre y Ortiz de Zarate. He passed away in 2001. The duchess has been friends with Diez for several years. In fact, there were rumors of a wedding in 2008, but nothing occurred after the children "vetoed" the idea of marriage. |
