A WEALTHY American socialite says a diamond ring worth more than $300,000 went missing while she was staying at the Shangri-La Hotel in Singapore last year.

Now, multi-millionaire Anne Hendricks Bass, 68, has gone to court to force the hotel to make good her loss.

A longtime arts patron with a passion for dance, she was described by The New York Times last month as one of the richest women in the United States after her 1988 divorce from Texas billionaire Sid Bass.
