Putting the new wife's name on a building named for the deceased wife
Danika:
Something tells me it's the new wife's idea to put her name on the building. Because she seems really showy. Like from this part in the article "Little is known of Ms Clancy- including what region of the world she claims her title from."
Also, I don't understand the following. The man and his late wife were only married 15 years "Sanford Ziff, 86,...and his wife of 15 years, Dolores, were well-known..." She died less than a year ago. So he was 70 when he married her. In a photo of them, she looked at least 75, so she could not have been younger than 60 when she got married to him. Later in the article, it says "There has been no official comment from the former-couple's son" and later mentions sons of hers from previous relationships (which I mention to postulate that it's not like the "former-couple's son" was hers from a previous relationsip and then later adopted by Ziff, since the others weren't adopted by him). So, the son they had together, she could not have given birth to. He has to be adopted, and fairly young, in his teens, even if he had been adopted before they married. Why would the reporters be trying to get quotes and thoughts from a minor?

Nasty. Just nasty.

Dunno - thinking the article got that wrong. From what I can tell, she had 4 sons - one from her first marriage (Hoppe), and three from her second marriage (Keater) (one of whom passed away before she did). She was 85 when she died, so they married when she was around 70.

That is shocking. If the donation was made in both their names then both their names should stay in honor of that.

Yup. I did a little searching, and she had her kids well before she married him. (Sadly, 1 son has passed.)
It also looks like she had money before she married him, so it very well could have been at least some of her money that went to the opera house.
This guy is... let's just say a piece of work.
