Jocelyn grew up in Lausanne, Switzerland where she became a skilled hunter and pilot. Her skills led to an invitation to a shooting weekend held at the 66,000 acre private Kenyan game reserve owned by billionaire art dealer, Alec N. Wildenstein.

Wildenstein was a son of Daniel Wildenstein, the owner of one of the world's largest and most successful art conglomerates, Wildenstein & Company. On April 30, 1978 Alec and Jocelyn were married in Las Vegas.

The couple had two children together, a daughter Diane and a son, Alec Jr. A lover of exotic animals, Jocelyn kept a capuchin monkey, called Cocoa, which traveled with the couple on their private jet. She also kept a pack of five Italian greyhounds.

She has spent around $2 million on plastic surgery.
