A billionaire heiress is battling her ex-best friend after an allegedly ill-advised $80 million crypto investment and a rejected romantic advance wrecked their relationship.
Taylor Thomson, 66, the scion of Canada's richest family, quickly clicked with former big-shot social campaign designer Ashley Richardson, 47, when they locked eyes at a ritzy Malibu pool party in 2009.
But after more than a decade of being attached at the hip - taking lavish European vacations and forming a 'pod' together during the pandemic - their friendship dramatically went off the rails.
The bold move to mix money with friendship led to the wealthy duo suing each other and Richardson losing the luxurious life she once had.
She now drives an Uber for a living.
