This BITCH cheated and still got $40M in the divorce settlement - GoFuckYourself.com

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. - A judge has awarded the former wife of a multimillionaire businessman a divorce settlement worth more than $40 million even though she admitted having affairs with her rock-climbing guide and a man she met on a flight to China.

In addition to a $24 million payment, Susan Sosin will keep the couple's $3.6 million Manhattan apartment, $2 million Utah ski house and $800,000 home in Wallkill, N.Y. But she has to vacate the couple's two mansions in Connecticut and three desert properties in Arizona.

In the divorce granted Wednesday, she also gets to keep $6 million in her brokerage accounts, eight cars and $2.9 million in jewelry, including a ruby piece her husband had bought for her but hadn't given to her prior to their divorce.

Richard Albrecht, attorney for Sosin's husband, Howard, estimated the total value of the award at $43 million, or 27 percent of the estate. She wanted half, he said.

"My opinion is her conduct in this matter affected the award," Albrecht said.

Susan Sosin's lawyer, Frederic J. Siegel, estimated the total value of the award was about $45 million and said his client asked for about 45 percent of the estate.

"By anybody's standards, it's a large amount of money," Siegel said. "Both parties will be able to move on with their lives."

Siegel said both sides were at fault for the divorce and defended his client as a good mother.

Howard Sosin, 54, who founded AIG Financial Products in 1987, filed for divorce after discovering his wife's relationships in February 2003. During an upgrade of their computer system, he found hundreds of e-mails between his wife and her lover, according to testimony.

Susan Sosin, 51, admitted in testimony that she had become intimate with a guide while rock climbing in 1996, though she said it was a spontaneous and isolated occurrence. During a flight to China in 2000, she met a married man, and that led to a lengthy affair, according to testimony.

"The parties' marriage has been undeniably marred by the defendant's infidelity," Superior Court Judge Howard Owens stated in his verdict. "Although her sexual relationship was not the sole cause of the breakdown, it did effectively terminate the marriage."

Howard Sosin's wealth was estimated at $168 million. Among the assets he gets to keep are $89 million in bank accounts, 10 of the couple's 18 cars, $960,000 worth of private club memberships and $22 million in fine art.

The couple met in 1978 when Howard Sosin was an assistant professor at Columbia University. At the time, she was married to another man and working in retail.

Howard Sosin served as the president and chief operating officer of AIG Financial Products until 1993 when he left the company. Following litigation, he received $182 million from AIG.

That's seriously fucked up.....bitch cheats on you and you still have to give her $40 million??? Kick her to the curb and leave her ass penniless....that's what she deserves

Then again....the article says that when the couple met, she was married to someone else.

He probably should have saw that one coming.

His payback was using some of his cash to put this all over the news and brand her as a cheating bitch.

Exactly my thoughts, if they will leave someone for you, they will leave you for someone else...

I remember a girl that used to work for me was seeing a married guy on the side for like 2 years.
She got so pissed off when this guy started seeing ANOTHER girl on the side...she was all jealous and shit.
I'm like WTF???? If he cheats on his wife you don't think he'll cheat on his mistress?

People never cease to amaze me.

Yeah, it's his own damn fault for not getting a prenuptial agreement.

not all of us are. im the one who actually brought up the idea of signing a pre-nup (if/when me and my man get married). he has more $$ & valuables than i do right now, but my income is always getting higher year after year so no matter who has more $$ & valuables, if we ever got divorced, we both leave with what we have individually. its only fair.

Pre-nup is the only way to go.

Sly · 03-26-2005, 02:37 PM

He should have tanked his company and assets before filing for divorce, hehe.

Repetitive Monkey · 03-26-2005, 02:45 PM

I'm speaking out of my ass, but isn't it true that prenuptial agreements can be judged invalid rather easily? There has at the very least been a number of such instances.

Cassie · 03-26-2005, 02:48 PM

i'm speechless. what kind of lawyer did this guy have???

SykkBoy · 03-26-2005, 02:52 PM

Apparently she was with him when he achieved the wealth though....he was an assistant professor which I doubt made hima millionaire...actually, it looks like a majority of his wealth came from the $182 million lawsuit against AIG...

I look at it this way: if my wife is with me through thick and thin and still with me when I make my millions, she deserves part of that success....
