He didn’t hedge his marital bet.
The wife of a billionaire hedge fund mogul has gone to court seeking a $6.2 billion slice of his massive fortune — but he allegedly offered her just $633 million in what is the largest divorce battle in New Jersey history, a report said.
The bombshell breakup between John Overdeck and his wife Laura Overdeck — who married without a prenup during the infancy of his Two Sigma Investments firm — kicked off Wednesday in a Newark courtroom.
Laura Overdeck is seeking a 35% piece of her hubby’s stake in the $80 billion firm, which her lawyer said was worth $6.2 billion, along hundreds of millions in bonds and equal control of the family foundation, Bloomberg first reported.
However the wife’s camp says that he made her the low ball offer of $633 million, which they call “as little as possible.”
“John Overdeck is trying to put the genie back in the bottle,” Laura Overdeck’s attorney Theresa Lyons said in court, according to sources.
The heart of the trial — which Lyons noted in court was the Garden State’s biggest contested divorce — comes down to whether Laura Overdeck can claim her husband’s stake in Two Sigma as a marital asset.
As the company and fortunes grew, John Overdeck conspired with the couple’s lawyers to hide assets from his wife as he plotted for divorce over 20 years, Lyons argued, according to the sources.

I have a friend who’s been married multiple times. He’s of the opinion that he should have saved time, drama, and legal fees by skipping the marriage and finding a woman he hated and giving her 1/2 of everything he owned.
***********
It really depends on the length of the marriage. If she helped him build it by attending to the life, the household, the children for decades while he attended to getting rich, she should get half of the increase in value since the date of the marriage. If they got married two years ago with no prenup, he is an idiot.
The only harder work she ever did was lying on her back and thinking of England.
**********
Gross. You obviously have no clue what the feminine side of the couple does to make a home and attend to children.
Says he plotted the divorce for 20 years while his business grew. That doesn’t make sense. What was he thinking? I just need to get to $80 Billion and then I can afford to leave?
I think lying on her back and having to look at his mouth-breathing face might have been even more difficult.
women don’t love men who are providers.
***********
Yes, we do. We just don’t love men who think they can dip it wherever they want because they make a lot of money.
Greedy whore wife...greedy whore lawyers.
**********
I am betting he is the one who is consorting with whores, and humiliated her, hence the divorce and the demand.
When they married he was just starting the hedgefund. They have three kids.
It’s insane money for both of them. I have no problem with her asking for a bigger share of what was accumulated during the marriage.
“ I’m glad I’m happily married. Couple fights over cat box is an embarrassing headline.”
I’m going through this now.
