LYNN ALLEWAY’S

documentary Millionaires’ Ex-Wives Club (BBC Two) presented us with Lisa Tchenguiz who was so rich you wanted to be sick. The daughter of the Shah of Iran’s royal minter she has always been, er, minted. And after her second marriage ended she prised £15million from her ex-husband. In her 50s she lives in Mayfair, as you’d expect. Much as I expected to dislike this strange creature I found myself warming to her. “I’d rather have money and be sad than no money and be sad,” she said. Seems reasonable.
