Wife leaves one of world's richest men for woman and gets $1 billion divorce pay-out

One of the world's richest men has been left 'humiliated' as he was forced to pay his ex-wife a whopping $1billion in a divorce settlement after she left him for a woman. Billionaire hedge fund manager Israel 'Izzy' Englander, 74 has reportedly agreed to give his ex-spouse Caryl an upwards of $1billion to quietly settle a scandalous divorce that shocked the high society of Manhattan, New York, the Mirror reports.

The Millennium Management co-funder watched his 69-year-old ex wife, who he shares three adult children with, walk out on him after over 40 years of marriage and file a startling civil law suit. The astonishing lawsuit claimed that the billionaire investor 'became enraged' when Caryl 'fell in love' with art dealer Dominique Lévy, who is co-founder of prestigious international art gallery Lévy Gorvy.

Caryl's lawsuit contained several shocking allegations against her New York-born ex husband which were claimed by both Caryl and Lévy. The New York Post's Page Six says the two new found lovers accused Mr Englander of 'terrorising' them in a failed attempt to 'bilk' Caryl out of billions in the divorce by forcing her to sign a postnuptial agreement in the year 2020.
