Doris Duke (1912-1993)

Billionaire tobacco heiress, philanthropist and socialite.

Her great wealth, luxurious lifestyle and love life attracted lots of press coverage, during her life and after her death.

To this day, belief persists that she deliberately ran over Eduardo Tirella, curator of her art holdings, after he decided to leave her for a career in Hollywood.

Was married twice, had one daughter that died at 1 day old.

Her fortune was largely left to charity. The Doris Duke Foundation is dedicated to medical research, prevention of cruelty to children and animals, the performing arts, wildlife and ecology.
