'It was their lucky day,' she said. It was my Jimmy Choo archive, which was worth $1 million in really useful stuff from my 16 years.'

In 2016, it went back to the market for $27 million, but it didn't sell. Mellon's pad was listed as a rental on a cool $75,000 per month before he signed her multi-million contract this spring.

Tiantian Kullander, the second industry titan to die in a matter of weeks, is the second in a row. Nikolai Mushegian, 29, died on October 28 - just hours after a tweeter announced that the CIA and Mossad were about to murder him.

Cotten's demise was so obscure and controversial that it prompted a Netflix documentary to investigate whether the whole thing was faked. Meanwhile, Mellon, Jimmy Choo co-founder Tamara Mellon's ex-husband, died of heart disease while preparing to visit a drug rehabilitation facility in Mexico.
