MONTREAL, May 1, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Josephine Bonaparte was reported to be a notorious spender, once purchasing 900 dresses in the span of a year. From a psychological standpoint, there are several plausible theories to the explain her extravagant spending style. Her relatively humble beginnings, her harrowing time in prison, Napoleon's frequent absences and his family's blatant dislike of her, just to name a few.
