Brian Myerson was caught out when his wife discovered he was leading a double life – with a mistress installed around the corner from the couple’s London home. Not surprisingly they got divorced.
He took his share of his $53m fortune in the form of shares in his investment fund, Principle Capital Investment Trust. She got her share in cash and properties.
Enter the global financial crisis, and his shares have declined in value by 90%.
Mr Myerson has so far failed in attempts to compel his former wife to return the $20 odd million she had already been paid and to be released of his legal obligation to pay her maintenance.
Haha! Karma is what I call what has happened to Mr Myerson.
