Mrs Helmsley, though fun to her friends, was arrogance personified: "Rhymes with rich," was Newsweek's caption for her portrait on its cover. "We don't pay taxes," she was said to have told a housekeeper once; "only the little people pay taxes."

Nice.

The magazine she writes for (The Economist) is extremely good (not particularly relevant to the OP though)

Fascinating! I love how interesting her obits are.

They make you want to become famous and die.

I heard the story on NPR. Hearing her describe her process was what made me look up the article online.
