Minun on pit\u00e4nyt postata seuraava tarina jo huhtikuusta l\u00e4htien sill\u00e4 Aprillip\u00e4iv\u00e4n tarinan<\/a> innoittamana ajattelin kertoa teille toisenkin tarinan. Mutta jostain syyst\u00e4 postaaminen on viiv\u00e4stynyt n\u00e4in pitk\u00e4\u00e4n. T\u00e4m\u00e4kin tarina kertoo naisesta ja h\u00e4nen omaisuudestaan. Tarinan p\u00e4\u00e4henkil\u00f6 on Huguette Clark, yksi maailman rikkaimmista ihmisist\u00e4, joka kuoli vuonna 2011 vanhapiikana kunnioitettavassa 104 vuoden i\u00e4ss\u00e4.<\/p>\n

Huguetten tarina alkoi vuonna 1906, kun h\u00e4n syntyi senaattori William A. Clarkin ja h\u00e4nen toisen vaimonsa Annan perheeseen. Liek\u00f6 syyn\u00e4 suojelevainen kasvatus vain puhtaasti luonteenpiirre, Huguettesta kasvoi syrj\u00e4\u00e4nvet\u00e4ytyv\u00e4 nuori nainen. Is\u00e4ns\u00e4 kuoleman j\u00e4lkeen 20-luvun puoliv\u00e4liss\u00e4, h\u00e4n vet\u00e4ytyi julkisuudesta parikymppisen\u00e4 ja viimeinen tunnettu valokuva h\u00e4nest\u00e4 otettiin 30-luvulla.<\/p>\n

Kaivos- ja rautatiepohatta William A. Clarkin perheelleen j\u00e4tt\u00e4m\u00e4 j\u00e4ttiomaisuus antoi Huguettelle ja h\u00e4nen \u00e4idilleen mahdollisuuden hyv\u00e4ntekev\u00e4isyyteen ja suojattuun el\u00e4m\u00e4\u00e4n. Arvokiinteist\u00f6t henkil\u00f6kuntineen New Yorkin Manhattanilla<\/a>, Santa Barbarassa ja Connecticutissa loivat mielikuvaa salaper\u00e4isest\u00e4 ja omalaatuisesta perij\u00e4tt\u00e4rest\u00e4. Vain harvat tapasivat Huguetten, mutta ne jotka t\u00e4m\u00e4n etuoikeuden saivat, pitiv\u00e4t h\u00e4nt\u00e4 ja h\u00e4nen \u00e4iti\u00e4\u00e4n miellytt\u00e4vin\u00e4, yst\u00e4v\u00e4llisin\u00e4 ja anteliaina ihmisin\u00e4.<\/p>\n

Suurin osa Huguette Clarkin tunnetuista tekemisist\u00e4 sijoittuu h\u00e4nen nuoruusvuosilleen. Vuonna 1928 h\u00e4n meni naimisiin is\u00e4ns\u00e4 bisneskumppanin pojan, William MacDonald Gower’in kanssa, mutta liitto p\u00e4\u00e4ttyi eroon jo kahden vuoden p\u00e4\u00e4st\u00e4. Lapsiakaan ei ehtinyt synty\u00e4. Vuonna 1929 Washington DC:ss\u00e4 j\u00e4rjestettiin taiden\u00e4yttely jossa oli esill\u00e4 seitsem\u00e4n Huguetten maalausta. Maalaamisen lis\u00e4ksi h\u00e4n harrasti my\u00f6s musiikkia. Vuosien my\u00f6t\u00e4 Huguette luotti ihmisiin aina vain v\u00e4hemm\u00e4n ja v\u00e4hemm\u00e4n koska h\u00e4nest\u00e4 tuntui ett\u00e4 ihmiset olivat vain h\u00e4nen rahojensa per\u00e4\u00e4n. Pariisilaissyntyinen Neiti Clark keskustelikin mieluiten ranskaksi jolloin oli todenn\u00e4k\u00f6isemp\u00e4\u00e4 ett\u00e4 sattumalta keskustelun kuulleet ihmiset eiv\u00e4t ymm\u00e4rt\u00e4neet. Lopulta h\u00e4nen \u00e4itins\u00e4 kuoltua 1963, h\u00e4n erist\u00e4ytyi l\u00e4hes t\u00e4ysin.<\/p>\n

Huguette sai el\u00e4\u00e4 rauhaisaa, hyvin yksityist\u00e4 el\u00e4m\u00e4\u00e4ns\u00e4 vuosikymmeni\u00e4. H\u00e4n asui vakituisesti New Yorkin Manhattanilla, jossa h\u00e4n omisti samassa talossa kolme asuntoa. Kaksi niist\u00e4 k\u00e4sitti kokonaisen kerroksen. Muissa omistamissaan asunnoissa Huguette ei vieraillut vuosikymmeniin, jos koskaan, mutta henkil\u00f6kunta piti kaikki kiinteist\u00f6t kunnossa. Vuonna 2012 julkaistujen l\u00e4\u00e4k\u00e4rinlausuntojen mukaan, Huguette Clark muutti h\u00e4net tavanneen l\u00e4\u00e4k\u00e4rin suosituksesta pysyv\u00e4sti sairaalaan vuonna 1988. L\u00e4\u00e4k\u00e4rin kertoman mukaan Huguetten kasvot olivat ihosy\u00f6v\u00e4n runtelemat ja h\u00e4n oli vaatetettu likaisella kylpytakilla ja asui vain yhdess\u00e4 ainoassa hulppean asuntonsa huoneessa.<\/p>\n

Vaikka Neiti Clark nukkui pois jo 2011, h\u00e4nen valtavasta omaisuudestaan riidell\u00e4\u00e4n edelleen<\/a>. Kolme viikkoa sitten oikeudenk\u00e4ynniss\u00e4 paljastui ett\u00e4 allekirjoittaessaan viimeist\u00e4 testamenttiaan Huguette oli puhunu ep\u00e4selv\u00e4sti ja allekirjoitusta varten \u00a0toisen henkil\u00f6n oli t\u00e4ytynyt pidell\u00e4 kyn\u00e4\u00e4 h\u00e4nen k\u00e4dess\u00e4\u00e4n. Uusi testamentti j\u00e4tti kaiken omaisuuden Huguetten asianajajalle, kirjanpit\u00e4j\u00e4lle ja sairaalalle, kun vain muutamia kuukausia aiemmin tehty edellinen testamentti j\u00e4tti omaisuuden h\u00e4nen yksityiselle hoitajalleen ja sukulaisille. On my\u00f6s selvinnyt ett\u00e4 sairaalan johto on yritt\u00e4nyt voidella Neiti Clarkia antamaan lahjoituksia j\u00e4rjest\u00e4m\u00e4ll\u00e4 h\u00e4nelle seuralaisia viett\u00e4m\u00e4\u00e4n aikaa h\u00e4nen kanssaan. Todenn\u00e4k\u00f6isesti omaisuudesta tullaan kiistelem\u00e4\u00e4n viel\u00e4 pitk\u00e4\u00e4n.<\/p>\n

J\u00e4nnitt\u00e4vint\u00e4 Huguetten tarinassa lienee se ett\u00e4 h\u00e4nen omistamansa suuretkin asunnot on pidetty tiptop kunnossa viimeiseen asti ja ne ovat olleet t\u00e4ynn\u00e4 arvoantiikkia ja taidetta. Vintageharrastajia toki kiinnostaa eniten millaisia vaateaarteita Neiti Clark on j\u00e4tt\u00e4nyt j\u00e4lkeens\u00e4 eri vuosikymmenilt\u00e4. N\u00e4ist\u00e4 ei valitettavasti ole netiss\u00e4 kuvamateriaalia olemassa. Mutta h\u00e4nen Manhattanin asuntoonsa p\u00e4\u00e4see kurkistamaan t\u00e4st\u00e4<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\nI keep meaning to post this story, ever since April because April Fools day story<\/a> inspired me so much I wanted to tell \u00a0another story. For some reason I kept failing until now.\u00a0This story is also about a woman and her possessions. Main character in this story is Huguette Clark, one of the richest people in the world, who died 2011 as a spinster, at the respectable age of 104.<\/p>\n

Story of Huguette started in the year 1907, when she was born to senator William A. Clark and his second wife Anna. Was it the protective parents or just feature of her personality, Huguette turned out to be very private young woman. After her father passed away, she pulled out of the publicity completely, in her twenties, and last known photo of her was taken in the 30’s.<\/p>\n

Mining and railroad millionaire William A. Clark left giant fortune to his family. That gave Huguette and her mother a possibility to generosity and charity and very private and protected life. Valuable properties with staff in Manhattan New York<\/a>, Santa Barbara and Connecticut created an image of a mysterious and peculiar heiress. Only very few people met Huguette, but those given this privilege, got the impression that Huguette and her mother were both very pleasant, kind and giving people.<\/p>\n

Most of Huguette Clark’s know history is her younger years. In 1928 she got married to her fathers business associates son, William MacDonald Gower. However the marriage ended just two years later without children. In 1929 there was Exhibition held in Washington DC, including seven paintings from Miss Clark. She was also musician. Over the years Huguette came to distrust people more. She thought they were only after her money. Paris-born Miss Clark even preferred to have conversations in french, then it was more likely that other people could not understand the conversation. Finally after her mothers death, she isolated herself pretty much completely from public.<\/p>\n

Huguette was able to live peacefull life for decades. She lived permanently in her Manhattan appartment in New York, where she owned three apartments in one building. Two of them covered the whole floor. In other houses she didn’t even visit for decades, if at all, but staff always kept everything pristine. Medical evaluation published in 2012, stated that Huguette Clark moved permanently to the hospital, due to the recommendation of a doctor who saw her in her home in 1988. According to the doctor, her face was deformed by skin cancer and she was only wearing dirty bathrobe and was living only in one room of her huge apartment.<\/p>\n

Even though Miss Clark passed away in 2011, people are still fighting over her vast inheritance. Only three weeks ago it was revealed in the court that when she was signing her last will, Huguette was mumbling incoherently and somebody had to hold the pen in her hand for signature. New will left everything to her layer, accountant and hospital, replacing the previous will which would have left inheritance to her private nurse and her own relatives. It has also been revealed that the hospital’s CEO even organized certain kind of company for Miss Clark to butter her off for donations. It is likely that there will be long battle of the Clark fortune.<\/p>\n

Most interesting thing about Huguette Clark-story is that all of her large apartments and houses have been kept pristine all the way and they are full of valuable antique and art. But even more interesting to vintage enthusiasts is to know what kind of vintage clothing treasures Miss Clark has left behind from different decades. Unfortunately there is no photos of her wardrobe on the internet. However you can get a view on her Manhattan apartment here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
