Tony and Jeanne Pritzker wed in 1989 and have six children. Tony Pritzker is one of the heirs to the Hyatt Hotels fortune and is chairman and CEO of Pritzker Private Capital. According to a recent Forbes estimate, he’s worth $4.1 billion.
The couple cited irreconcilable differences in their divorce filing.
Upon their split in 2022, Jeanne Pritzker wanted to remain in the home while her husband wanted to sell.
The Wall Street Journal reported Tony Pritzker’s lawyers informed her she didn’t have any rights to the Pritzker estate; instead, it was owned by a series of trusts and LLCs.
The lawyers said that since she wasn’t a beneficiary of any of these trusts, she didn’t actually own the home.
The Journal reported that this is a growing trend among billionaires who want to hide their actual wealth for various reasons, including tax purposes, estate planning, and privacy.
The Pritzkers did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider.
