tl;dr. Said she was born rich. Was actually born to a hairdresser and a con-artist. Really she was rags to riches which is pretty inspirational I think.

She did an outstanding job of recreating herself.
I wonder whether she was honest with Jerome Sidel.
Horrible as it may be to say, it kind of proves that lying was totally worth it for her. Probably worth it for a lot of the courageous "big" liars out there. If no one's gonna check on it, and you're making all this money, why would you stop? It's working for you.
Like you said, it's probably inspirational to many people. A lot more people will take the "fake it til you make it" route. Because it works often enough to make it a viable life strategy.
