Despite her late mother-in-law detesting her and referring to her as “that b***h”, Charlene Marshall managed to get her claws into $14.5 million of Brooke Astor’s (1902 – 2007) wealth. A mother of three by her first marriage and best known for helping her husband Anthony (1924 – 2014) evade jail for four years after he was convicted in 2009, Marshall is the personification of a ‘Stepford Wife’ and considered by many a thoroughly nasty example of the very worst kind of social climber. Charlene Marshall may now be extremely wealthy but she will deservedly be forever shunned.
