Sixty-five y/o NYSE president Sprecher has been married to U.S. Senator Kelly Loeffler since 2004.

They reside in Tuxedo Park, Atlanta in a $10,500,000, 15,000 square foot estate called Descante.

On March 19, 2020, the public release of federal financial-disclosure documents revealed that Sprecher and his wife, U.S. Senator Kelly Loeffler (R-Georgia), dumped millions of dollars of stock the couple owned in companies vulnerable to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The sales began the same day Loeffler and other senators received a private briefing from federal officials about the looming crisis.[10]The documents also showed that the couple purchased stock in a company that would potentially benefit from the shelter-in-place orders that have since been implemented throughout the United States to prevent the spread of the virus.

The company, Citrix, specializes in teleworking software.[10]. The Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act (STOCK Act) prohibits members of Congress from using nonpublic information they receive as part of their official duties to buy or sell securities.[11] At least some of the stocks that Loeffler sold were owned jointly with Sprecher and would have required his knowledge and authorization to sell, documents show.

On March 20, 2020, the consumer advocacy group Common Cause filed complaints against Sprecher and Loeffler with the SEC, the Senate Ethics Committee, and the DOJ, requesting from the latter a criminal investigation of the couple for violations of the STOCK Act.
