Billionaire John Overdeck is embroiled in a divorce battle with his wife Laura after nearly 24 years of marriage without a prenuptial agreement. Laura, who filed for divorce in 2022, is demanding 35% of the value of his holdings in the investment company he founded, estimated by her lawyers at approximately $6.2 billion. The enormous sum could force Overdeck to sell some of his shares, potentially giving his partner an advantage in the control struggle. The business conflict has infiltrated the legal proceedings to the point where the judge had to remind the parties that this is a divorce proceeding. The article notes that the couple never signed a prenuptial agreement.
