The star expands to larger than it ever was during its lifetime a few to about a hundred times bigger. However, their life cycles start to differ after the red giant phase. Generally, the bigger a star is, the faster it uses up its supply of nuclear fuel, so the longestlived stars are among the smallest. So that if a globular cluster is old they will have few massive stars on the ms. If i assume it was a smaller than average type b star next class of star bigger than a type a sirius star on the hertzsprungrussel diagram, and smaller than average since it collapsed to a white dwarf rather than a neutron star then it would would have had a life expectancy of perhaps 150 million years, give or take, and this fits plausibly. Red dwarfs actually consist of about 75% of all the main sequence of stars so these stars are extremely common which makes it important for us to search for life around these stars as well since they are most of our galaxy stars.
