How did she not realize they were broke??

I'm watching it now. Probably they have accounts she never looks at. Sadly this happens to serious heirs all the time-they know nothing much but spending.

I could be wrong, but when the hubby was in the car with the chick he works with, she said she was tired of pretending and talking about him telling "her." He hid it well and she trusted him to deal with their money in hopes to keep it coming in.
