But three years after her death, aged 104, Huguette Clark's sprawling 42-room apartment on Manhattan's Fifth Avenue has just revealed its rarest treasure yet.
A 1731 Stradivarius violin known as "The Kreutzer" after its former owner, French violinist Rodolphe Kreutzer, has been discovered in a closet, and is now expected to auction for between $7.5 million and $10m, the New York Post reported.
Christie's has begun accepting sealed bids ahead of a final deadline this Thursday.
“It would be the one violin that Kreutzer held most special to him and would retain it throughout his life,” said a spokesman for Christie's.
