Wife divorcing ex-CEO: $43 million not enough

No doubt.

We handle some 'high profile' divorces here in Oklahoma, but this is Oklahoma, so we don't have all that much in the way of huge estates. The ones which we do have and those which we've represented are generally settled through mediation or something to that effect.

In this case, if husband's offer is $43 million, he's being unreasonable, IMHO. I wouldn't even dream of recommending my client go to mediation if that was the offer. I'd be shocked if she didn't do a lot better in court.

This is only an assumption on my part, but I would guess that this is one of the larger estates to be handled in the Greater Hartford area. I would guess that most estates this size are involving people who live closer to NYC (Greenwich, Darien, New Canaan, etc.). Even in the wealthier areas of Hartford county, like West Hartford, Farmington and Avon, for the most part you're not seeing people with wealth at David's level.
