With the upturn in the economy, the Siegels now completely own the Versailles property. It is now the fourth most expensive house in the United States.
Before the film premiered, David Siegel launched a civil action about how the film's marketing was misrepresented to him. The suit was tossed out of court and Siegel was ordered to pay the filmmakers $750,000 in legal fees.
Three years later, David Siegel and Jaqueline Siegel's daughter Victoria was found dead in one of their properties. It emerged that she was addicted to methadone.
As of 2019, the "Versailles" mansion is still not finished (although considerable progress has been made compared to 2012). It has now been under construction for over 15 years. According to Jackie Siegel, it's also the only house in America that is simultaneously under construction and under renovation.
Lauren Greenfield first met Jaqueline Siegel in 2007 when she was doing a profile of Donatella Versace. Siegel was one of Versace's best customers.
