Million dollar credit card: February 24, 2005 -- The phony princess who ran up a $1 million American Express bill says she was trying to shop until she dropped dead. "I went on a spending spree. I went berserk. I didn't care. I just wanted to die. It was suicide by spending," Antoinette Millard claims in court papers where she blames her shop-aholism on a mental disorder — and trauma from the Sept. 11 terror attacks. Millard — currently awaiting trial on insurance-fraud charges — said in an affidavit that her wild spending sprees and claims of being a Saudi princess were preceded by "a series of traumatic events in my life," including being sexually harassed at her workplace and witnessing "people jumping out of the Twin Towers" while she was "en route to work on 9/11/01." Millard, 41, made her sensational claims in court filings aimed at derailing American Express's $1 million law suit against her for splashy items she bought with her card but never paid for. Millard later filed a $2 million coun terclaim against the credit-card company, charging it "induced" her into signing up for its prestigious, virtually no-limit Centurion card by falsely promising "that she could make flexible pay ments." nypost.com
