Brazilian-Born Socialite Monica Noel & Family Kicked Out Of Country Club. No!

The Noels of Greenwich, Connecticut, whose matriarch is Rio de Janeiro-born socialite Monica Noel, have been kicked out of the exclusive Round Hill Club. Amongst other offenses, the women had the audacity to show up to their beach club in sarongs and thongs. You can take the girls out of Brazil…

Of course, it didn’t help that daddy Walter is co-founder of the Fairfield Greenwich Group (FGG), which funneled billions of its clients’ dollars into Bernie Madoff’s greedy little hands. Thongs/Madoff. Equally offensive if you ask us.

“Even in the upscale town of Greenwich, the Noels stand out,” writes New York Post journalist Annie Karni. “With their five tall, tanned, toned and whimsically named daughters—Marisa, 31; Alix, 41; Ariane, 42; Lisina, 44; and Corina, 45—they have cultivated a Kennedy-esque aura of royalty.”

But now that daddy lost everybody’s money, their name is mud.
