The rich person Rachel Gert passed away and was alone in her later years. When she was only 19 years old, her monthly pocket money was worth approximately US$1.2 million in today's currency. At the age of 21, she inherited a huge fortune. The enigmatic American millionaire Richard Clark spent her final years alone in the hospital. She passed away this morning at the age of 104. Huguette Clark's lawyer issued a brief statement today to confirm her death, but did not disclose the cause of her death. They only said that Huguette Clark completed the last step of her life in accordance with her own wishes and "passed away while maintaining dignity and maintaining personal privacy." In two weeks, she would have turned 105 on June 9. In February 2010, the MSNBC website launched Shuget. Clark's special report album has aroused high response from all walks of life across the United States, and also made many readers particularly curious about this mysterious figure who has not appeared in public for more than 80 years. According to MSNBC, although Huget Clark lives in a hospital with full-time nurses for dedicated care, living a low-key and isolated life, the accumulated value of her idle luxury homes across the United States is quite astonishing, including a villa on the beach in Santa Barbara, California, worth about $100 million, a farmhouse in New Kenan, Connecticut, worth about $23 million, and a 42-room apartment on Fifth Avenue in New York, worth $100 million. These mansions are managed and maintained by dedicated personnel. The luxury apartments in New York are also equipped with expensive paintings and furniture. However, Huget Clark, the owner of these mansions, has been registered under a false name for many years and lived in an isolation ward of a hospital in New York City in order to avoid outside attention. Even her lawyer has been able to talk to her through the door for 20 years. Huget Clark's father, William Andrews Clark, was a famous copper mining magnate in American history and served as the Democratic U.S. Senator from Montana from 1901 to 1907. Clark started his career by mining copper mines in Montana and Arizona. His business spans banking, railways, newspapers, sugar, tea, logs, real estate and other projects. The New York Times once reported that Clark is the richest or second richest person in the United States, with financial resources on par with Rockefeller. Huget Clark was the daughter of Clark and his second wife. Clark died in 1925, and the huge inheritance was divided equally among the children. Huget Clark, who was only 19 years old at the time, could receive a monthly allowance of US$7,500, which is worth about US$1.2 million in today's currency. It is estimated that the estate left behind by Clark is worth about US$3.6 billion in today's currency. When she was 21 years old, Sugar Clark inherited 1/5 of her father's estate. At the age of 22, she married a top law student who worked in the family business, but they divorced less than two years after their marriage. She lived with her mother Anna until Anna passed away in 1963. MSNBC's investigative report in the summer of 2010 pointed out that Hugart Clark's lawyers and accountants may have been suspected of embezzling her property. The New York prosecutors also launched an investigation. In addition to checking the remittances from her bank account, they also investigated the details of the original transactions such as the sale of a Stradivari violin in her name for US$6 million and a Renoir painting for US$23.5 million. The lawyer argued that all transactions were conducted according to the instructions of Hugart Clark. Although Huggart Clark is no longer alive, the relevant investigation is still ongoing.
