Another Family Tragedy Strikes Jackie Siegel
Jackie Siegel, known as the “Queen of Versailles” from the reality TV show, is facing another devastating loss. As she grieves the recent passing of her husband, timeshare mogul David Siegel, she is now mourning the death of her younger sister, Jessica Mallery, who tragically died at the age of 43 from an apparent drug overdose.
Double Loss for “Queen of Versailles”
Siegel, 59, shared the heartbreaking news of Mallery’s passing via her nonprofit organization, the Victoria’s Voice Foundation’s Instagram page, on Tuesday, April 8. This announcement comes shortly after the death of her husband, David Siegel, 89, who passed away on April 5.
Accidental Overdose Claimed Mallery’s Life
In her social media post, Siegel conveyed the immense pain of losing both her husband and her sister in quick succession. She described Mallery’s death as an “unexpected loss” and attributed it to “accidental drug overdose,” a tragedy her family has unfortunately experienced before.
Siegel further informed her followers that Mallery’s death was due to “cocaine laced with fentanyl.” This revelation emphasizes the critical mission of her foundation, which aims to combat substance abuse and raise awareness about the dangers of drug use, now in honor of her late sister.
Victoria’s Voice Foundation Continues Fight Against Substance Abuse
The Victoria’s Voice Foundation was established by Siegel and her late husband in memory of their daughter, Victoria, who tragically died from a drug overdose in 2015. Siegel stated that the foundation’s work is “more critical than ever” in the wake of her sister’s death.

Sister’s Organs Donated, Donations Requested for Victoria’s Voice
In a poignant gesture, Siegel also shared that Jessica Mallery’s organs are being donated to help others. Instead of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the Victoria’s Voice Foundation in Mallery’s memory, further solidifying her commitment to turning personal tragedy into positive action against drug abuse.
David Siegel’s Passing Days Prior
David Siegel, Jackie’s husband and the founder of Westgate Resorts, passed away just days before his sister-in-law. The billionaire, known for his opulent lifestyle and extravagant home, had reportedly been battling cancer, according to the Las Vegas Journal-Review.
Tributes to Late Husband
Following David’s death, Jackie Siegel publicly honored her late husband. In an Instagram post on Saturday, April 5, she shared a wedding photo and expressed her deep sorrow. She wrote of being “lucky enough to share twenty-five wonderful years with David” and noted their eight children, stating, “His life and legacy live on through them all.”
Reunion in the Afterlife
Siegel’s tribute also mentioned her late daughter, Victoria, whom David had adopted, and his deceased son, Steven. Finding solace in faith, she added, “To say we are devastated is an understatement. But I find comfort in knowing that Victoria was there to greet him—the first thing he heard was ‘Dad,’ followed by a big hug. And of course, Steven is there too. That thought brings me so much peace.”
Lingering Grief Over Daughter Victoria
Jackie Siegel has previously spoken about the profound impact of Victoria’s passing. In 2022, she revealed to The Post the enduring pain, stating, “When Victoria died, it felt like my world fell apart, and all the money in the world could not bring her back.” She also admitted to leaving Victoria’s bedroom untouched since her death, a stark reminder of her ongoing grief.
A Lavish Life and Public Persona
Jackie and David Siegel married in 2000. Jackie gained wider fame with her reality show in 2012, which documented the construction of their extravagant mansion. In January, reports indicated that the long-term construction project was nearing completion.
