Imelda Marcos is a Filipino socialite, politician, and former First Lady of the Philippines. She is the widow of the dictator Ferdinand Marcos, the 10th president of the Philippines. She served as First Lady from 1965 to 1986, during which she and her family gained infamy for living a lavish lifestyle during a period of economic crisis and civil unrest in the country, drawing comparisons to Marie Antoinette of France. Amidst the controversies surrounding her family, Marcos remains one of the richest politicians in the Philippines through her collection of clothing, artwork, and jewelry, along with money in offshore bank accounts under the pseudonym Jane Ryan. As a result, she has been called a kleptocrat by historians and, along with her husband, is recorded in the Guinness World Records as the greatest robbery of a government.Marcos was born in Manila but moved to Tacloban prior to World War II after the death of her mother. She returned to Manila in 1950 to pursue a career as a singer and as a beauty queen. In 1954, she married Ferdinand Marcos, who became president of the Philippines in 1965, and in 1972 declared martial law. As First Lady, she helped build developments in and around the metropolis of Manila while spending much of her time abroad on state visits and shopping sprees that she amassed more than a thousand pairs of shoes, some of which are now housed in a museum in Marikina.The assassination of opposition leader Benigno Aquino Jr. in 1983 and electoral fraud in the 1986 presidential election caused mass protests that eventually led to the People Power Revolution. The Marcos family were forced into exile, and Aquino's widow Corazon, who also stood for the election, was inaugurated as president. After the death of her husband Ferdinand, Marcos returned to the Philippines and was later elected four times to the House of Representatives as a congresswoman for Leyte in 1995 and for Ilocos Norte in 2010, 2013, and 2016.
