735 million dollars. That was the offer Laura Overdeck rejected.
Her husband, John Overdeck, co-founder of the Two Sigma fund, married her in 2002 without signing a prenuptial agreement.
Today, that firm is worth around 80.000 million dollars, and Laura is fighting in a New Jersey court for 35% of that fortune: around 6.200 million.
Her lawyer claims that he tried to leave her “with as little as possible” and moved assets into trusts to evade her. John’s team responds that she is simply being unreasonable. 👀
Some say that if there was no prenup, she is entitled to half of everything built during the marriage.
Others believe the company was founded before the wedding and that 735 million is already a fortune, making it impossible to justify asking for more. Which side are you on?
