Alec Wildenstein was a French-born American billionaire businessman. He was born on 5th August 1940 into a french billionaire family to Daniel Wildenstein and his wife Martine Kapferrer in Marseille, Bouches-du-Rhône, Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, France. Guy Wildenstein is his younger brother.
His family had fled from France to the United States after German Army occupied France during World War II.
His parents got divorced and his father, Daniel Wildenstein married secondly to Sylvia Roth in 1978.

Alec threatened Jocelyn with a gun after she caught him with a 19-year-old Russian model in their bedroom. Alec was arrested and spent a night in jail. They got divorced in 1999 and Jocelyn was awarded $2.5 billion in one of the biggest divorce settlements in history and $100 million each year for the following 13 years. However the Judge ordered that she cannot use any alimony payments for any further cosmetic surgery.
