Not all the money went to Ali, when Eulalie died most of it went to Bee's yesterest son. I don't think Ali had much money after the war and during the exile in Zurich. With her own income discontinued, Baby Bee could surely use some of Marie Coburg's inheritance. It was documented that Sandra was quite difficult with the partition of her mother's goods (she got there before the others). Missy was quite worried about the issues (she knew Sandra could be vicious if she deemed it justified). She was comforted by the fact that Ducky could be there (since she could not be there in person). Ducky did deal with her (with a representative) iron out a deal with her on hers and the other sisters (Bee was there too, even though she got the least out of it). Indeed eventualy Ali and Bee got some property (remember lawyers fee over the law suit with Antonio), but it would be safe to say that they were never "cash rich". Another reason why Bee made so few appearances in England, is that without much clothes and jewels, it was hard to keep it up.
