Christine Cromwell (1922-1989)

She was "Mrs Christensen" and resident in the Virgin Islands when she ought to have inherited a share of her grandmother's - Mrs Anna Dodge's - circa $100 million fortune. But she was one of Mrs Dodge's three (of seven) grandchildren to be cut from the will. A few years earlier, Christine had sued her grandmother for mismanagement of the estate. But, it was later shown by the Detroit Trust Company that no less than 600 claims by various creditors had been filed against the 5-times married Christine and those claims would total more than her $11.9 million inheritance.
