Her father was a tax exile and convicted criminal, and left his money to her, her sister, her full brother and their mother. Dunno how much it ended up as what he had in the UK was less than £10K apparently. Her eldest (half) brother bankrupted the family estate through drink and drugs; apparently there was a trust fund for her brother who inherited the Marquess of Bristol title but none for her or her sister. Depends on how much her father left and how quickly she went through it - also how it was left as her mother was able to cut off her allowance in her late teens and she had to get a J O B. Her mother is still alive so might still control the money. They've been a pretty notorious family for a few generations.
