Spent Initial Years With Her Brother Who Was In A Coma
Ghislaine Maxwell was born on December 25, 1961, and three days after her🔯 birth, her 15-year-old brother Michael was in a car crash that crashed into a lorry along a foggy Oxfordshire road, where he would end up spending the remaining seven years of his life in a coma.
Grew Up Neglected
After the de🍨ath of her brother Michael Maxwell, Ghislaine Maxwell spent her first few years in complete emotional ne🔜glect. Unfortunately, this neglect also resulted in her developing anorexia at a very early age.
Grew Up With A Draconian Father
John Preston'sꦅ biography, ‘Fall: The Mysterious Life And Death Of Robert Maxwell, Britain's Most Notorious Media Baron’, mentions that Ghislaine Maxwell grew up with a sort of a draconian father who ab♔used his children both physically and verbally.
Strong Love For Her Father
As a young girl, Ghislaine Maxwell soon became her father’s favourite, after initial years of neglect. She was known to be spoilt la🍬vishly with the best they could provide. She soon grew a strong bond with her father and was left devastated after his death.
The Desire For Power
Ghislaine Maxwell had naturally followed in her father’s footsteps in the desire to seek more power. She was known to not be very close to women, but she founded a private memb꧒er's club exclusively for women.
