Hedge Fund Tycoon Israel Englander Pays $1 Billion To Ex-Wife In ‘Messy’ Divorce Settlement

Manhattan was scandalised by the messy divorce of high-profile billionaire hedge fund manager, Israel Englander and his former wife, Caryl, who left him for another woman. Considered one of the world’s richest men, Israel agreed to pay his wife $1 billion following a messy divorce. The ex-couple was married for more than four decades.

A 1 Billion Dollar Divorce Settlement

Billionaire hedge fund manager Israel Englander agreed to pay $1 billion to his ex-wife, Caryl following a messy divorce that scandalized Manhattan society. It is reported that his 69-year-old wife filed an astonishing civil lawsuit against the 74-year-old Millenium Management co-founder, who is worth $11.3 billion.

She mentioned in the court documents that her ex-husband became “enraged” when she fell in love with Swiss gallerist Dominique Levy, 55. Caryl’s new-found lover owns the prestigious Dominique Levy Gallery on Madison Avenue. The place is known for selling works by top artists like Frank Stella, Cindy Sherman, Gerhard Richter and Jackson.

Caryl’s attorney Peter E Bronstein, who works at Rottenstreich, Lieberman, Farley LLP, released a statement: “Caryl is happy to have settled their issues privately and amicably. The agreement does not allow either party to discuss the terms.” Israel’s attorney John Teitler deferred from commenting on the matter.

Nasty Allegation Made In The Suit…

Israel Englander, who is known as one of the richest men in the world, underwent a messy divorce from his wife, Caryl. The ex-couple was married for more than 40 years. However, in 2016, their marriage began to deteriorate following Israel’s “repeated unfaithfulness”. The same has been claimed in the civil lawsuit, which was filed in New York Supreme Court by Caryl and her lover, Dominique Levy.

In the legal document, Caryl also agreed to fall in love with another woman. Furthermore, the suit made some startling allegations. It came out that the highest-paid hedge funder of 2020 (earnings worth $3.8 billion), “set out to terrorize the two women to force a break in their relationship, believing he could intimidate Caryl into “waking up” and “coming back to him”.

The civil lawsuit also alleges that “as he openly confessed to numerous people in Dominique’s professional circle”. Not only this, but Israel also vowed to “destroy” Dominque and her business.”

The civil lawsuit further claims that Israel Englander simultaneously intimidated and defrauded Caryl into executing a “series of trust agreements and other financial documents”. These formed a part of the November 2020 postnuptial agreement and stripped her of her “equitable share of the billions of dollars of marital assets that the couple had built and accumulated over four decades of marriage”.

Caryl also claimed that the hedge fund titan carried out a “years-long campaign of duress” against two women, having them followed and photographed, hacking their emails and phones”. The massive divorce settlement is said to include a portion of the former couple’s massive real estate portfolio and large art collection.
