They forgot:

1986 - Imelda Marcos - Grand Mal shoeslut and narcissist...

"After the Marcos family fled Malacañang Palace, Imelda was found to own 15 mink coats, 508 gowns, 888 handbags and over a thousand pairs of shoes. In February 2006, Imelda insisted that Ferdinand Marcos acquired his wealth legitimately as a gold trader. By the late 1950s, she claimed, he had amassed a personal fortune of 7,500 tons of gold, and after gold prices climbed in the 1970s, the Marcos family was worth 35 billion dollars. However, the Bureau of Internal Revenue has no record of the Marcos family declaring or paying taxes on these assets, and the origins of their wealth remains open to investigation."
