LIKE ANNA NICOLE SMITH, Nina Wang was a simple gal who married her sugardaddy and mesmerized the tabloids in life as in death. Before her death on April 3, the 69-year-old Hong Kong tycoon was known for her zany fashion sense (she favored miniskirts with bobbysocks and pigtails) and her eccentricities (her righthand “man” at company meetings was often a pet monkey). The notoriously thrifty billionairess also held formal parties at McDonald’s and was known to scour soirees for leftovers.

In leaving her $4.2 billion estate to her feng-shui consultant, Wang has set off a massive legal battle. Like the one that occurred when her husband, Teddy, disappeared under mysterious circumstances. (Nina’s hubby was kidnapped twice…and when his captors didn’t receive the sum they requested the second time, his body was supposedly dumped into Hong Kong Harbor.) Yet “Little Sweetie” forged on without him (perhaps with the help of a forged will and definitely against the will of her father-in-law), becoming the richest woman in Asia.

ALL HAIL THE TABLOID QUEENS! Everyone’s familiar with Anna Nicole’s Playboy Datasheet. Here’s Nina Wang’s 411, filled out just before they called 911.
