LittleSis: Chandi Heffner

Chandi is a former belly dancer and Hare Krishna. In the 1980s, Chandi moved to Hawaii where she struck up a friendship with the eccentric and reclusive woman named Doris Duke. For some reason, Doris actually came to believe that Chandi was the reincarnation of her daughter Arden. The two proceeded to travel the world together, enjoying Doris' wealth. Doris adopted Chandi in 1988. Chandi was 35 years old. Doris was in her mid-70s. Upon adopting the 35-year-old, Doris reportedly promised to take care of Chandi in the manner she'd become accustomed to for the rest of her life and make her the executor of her will. Once Chandi was adopted she took control of Duke's life – running her households, advising her on finances, and traveling with her all over the year. Duke bought Chandi a horse farm on the big island of Hawaii that she lives on to this day. And then, in 1991, Duke cut Chandi off. The reasons for this are unknown to this day. But, Duke had reportedly promised to take care of Chandi for the rest of her life. Doris Duke died in 1993. According to the terms of her will, the vast majority of Doris' fortune went to charity. Chandi was left nothing. Today the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation controls assets worth approximately $2 billion in assets. The Foundation has already given away $1.84 billion in its roughly 30 years of existence. Chandi sued Duke's estate. She was awarded a $65 million settlement. Today, Chandi lives on a palatial farm in Hawaii. She takes in rescued horses, donkeys, pigs, birds, and other animals.
