From an award-winning documentary to international fame, the Siegel family seemed to have it all. Jackie Siegel, known as the “Queen of Versailles,” and her family made international headlines for building their Florida mega-mansion with the hope that it would be the biggest house in the country. Ten years later, their dreams came crumbling down when the financial crisis hit and brought construction to a halt. But that was nothing compared to the nightmare that would follow.
