Sean 6,365 Posted April 28, 2017 Thought it was time for a thread for the L`Oreal heiress and richest woman in the world Lilianne Bettencourt.Now 94 and has had Alzheimer's since 2006 and was put under a conservatorship in 2011.Not been heard of since which is unsurprising given her bad health.A good candidate for 2018 if she lasts that long I would think. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She seems pretty deathlisty. Gives me Estée Lauder or Brooke Astor vibes. Good pick for next year. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 11,073 Posted September 21, 2017 Meh, I used to pick her in a couple of pools, but got bored of her/her case, and forgot about her this year. Surely, Sumner Redstone is going to follow soon. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted September 21, 2017 She was one of those old ladies you keep expecting to die at any moment but she never does, so at some point you just give up and forget death is a realistic option for her. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beware that much of their products and foods are produced under less than optimal standards in China. They also descriminate against female employees. Seems like a majority of their customers are poor and not likley to know much of these facts. Walmart sucks! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
