‘Genius’ Banker Loses $225 Million Divorce Battle

quote:
A former Lone Star Funds executive, who asked judges to weigh the value of “genius” in a bid to win a bigger share of a $225 million fortune than his ex-wife, lost his divorce appeal at a London court on Tuesday. Randy Work failed to convince a three-judge panel that his “special contribution” during their marriage meant he was entitled to a bigger share than the typical British practice of awarding a 50-50 division of marital assets.
quote:
Work and Mandy Gray, both American, were married for 20 years when they split. A lower-court judge said in 2015 that the multimillion-dollar estate should be equally split because while Work may have worked hard, the fortune was the result of “being in the right place at the right time, or benefiting from a period of boom,” not his professional brilliance. The appeal judges agreed saying the use "of the word genius is unhelpful," and that Work "failed to demonstrate that" the previous judge’s "decision was wrong."

Only idiots marry down. If you are that wealthy you can get laid whenever you want why would you get married

While he may have not been a genius, I'm sure she contributed a whole hell of a lot to the earning of the income...

Gotta love the judge decisions. Someone gets it. Half of it is luck

It sounds like she was the one in the right place at the right time.

I guess her pussy was at the right place at the right time as well...
And as always, having a pussy at all in these cases is the only genius.

"A special contribution argument is unlikely to be successful where someone is simply very good at their job. The family court is careful not to discriminate against the non-wealth-creating spouse who may have made a significant contribution to family life in other ways, such as by raising the family's children.”

won't mean shite when the reaper comes, and the screams are silenced as they were in the gutters of Gomorrah, when the fires boiled the flowing blood and the wealthiest to the poor were all equal in ash..

You don't refer to yourself as a 'genius' in court papers to a bunch of self-important appellate judges, especially if you're an American in a British court. That was his fatal error.

Bankers gamble with other people's money. If they win, they're "geniuses." If they lose, they're a victim of "market forces" and the taxpayers bail them out.

This is one of the most twisted things I've ever read from a judge and says a lot about the British mindset.
I love how we equate both of them to being a product of luck, therefore they both get equal shares of the estate. We'll just ignore his time and work and pretend he's no different than a woman who was fortunate enough to suck his dick so she didn't have to pay for anything.

Work and Mandy Gray
"Gray"
I wonder why they didn't include this shade of Gray in the damn movie?

Just checked into say marriage sucks. Don't do it and you pay them to leave. That's all I got.
