Jacqueline is the only sibling with a lifestyle"close to reflecting her billionaire status," wrote Jan Pottker for The Washingtonian in 2008.She reportedly listed her estate in New Jersey for $2 million, has a place called Stonehall Farm in Virginia, and maintains her mother's Watergate penthouse. Like her family, Jacqueline maintains privacy.
In 2013, Jacqueline was involved in a car crash in Loudon County. She was driving her Porsche SUV"when her vehicle crossed the center line and hit an eastbound minivan," according to authorities, reported the Washington Post. "According to authorities, Mars told a witness who went to the scene of the accident that she had fallen asleep while driving,"."Tests revealed no trace of drugs, alcohol, or medications that could have caused a blackout ... Witnesses said that Mars was not speeding or driving erratically before the accident."
The accident occurred in Loudon County; the driver of the other car lost her unborn son, a passenger died, and other passengers were injured. The victims urged the court not to seek jail time for Jacqueline, who pleaded guilty. She was ordered to pay a $2,500 fine. "I can't go back in time. I can't change what happened," Mars, who planned to help the family, said in a statement."I will always live with the grief and loss caused by this tragedy."
