Barbara Hutton's inheritance at that time consisted of some 175,000 shares of Woolworth common stock. Trustees have traded it back and forth, sold large blocks of it. Financial sleuths estimate her fortune as of 1933 may have dropped to a market value of $20,000,000, of which the income might be $1,000,000 before taxes, a tidy sum but not to be compared with the inheritance of Heiress Doris Duke ($53,000,000), still fair game for the rest of Russia's aristocracy...
