An 87-year-old woman had amassed a wealth of over $17 million but lived frugally on her own until she suffered from dementia, sparking a court battle between two camps of her relatives.

The Singapore permanent resident had the means to live comfortably but apparently did not hire a caregiver, preferring instead to frequently seek help from her condominium’s management employees for minor chores, such as looking for her misplaced mobile phone.
