A Manhattan woman who landed two Swiss chalets, $8 million in jewelry and $4 million in stock in her divorce settlement — and still whined for more — isn’t getting another red cent, an appeals court ruled.
“The court issued a careful, comprehensive decision addressing all relevant factors, including [her] egregious economic fault in claiming to have given away jewelry and property worth over $10 million, failing to disclose her offshore and foreign accounts, and secreting millions more in assets,” a Manhattan appeals panel said in the case of Barbara Stewart, ex-wife of the grandson of a MetLife founder.
The judges noted that her January 2014 award “includes valuable assets that will be sold, including luxury vehicles, a Swiss chalet and its contents, and a Bermuda estate and its contents.”
Her ex is William Stewart III, who runs W.P. Stewart & Co. and whose grandfather, William P. Stewart, helped found MetLife.
The higher court also lambasted Barbara Stewart for hiding around $10 million in jewelry with her daughter-in-law and trying to transfer ownership of one of the chalets.
