New York Man Sues Former Wife Over Secret Twitter Stock Worth Millions

Picture the scene. You’re happily married. Then, one day, you’re not, going through a messy divorce. Years later, you find out that your wife was an early, secret investor in Twitter. A fact that she hid from you. Now, post Twitter IPO, that investment is worth tens of millions.

What do you do?

Shrug it off? Put it down to bad luck? Perhaps. But what if you’d been paying a lot of child support every month since the divorce – which, incidentally, took place in 2006 – despite only making a modest living? Maybe now you’d feel that you deserved a share of that Twitter investment, particularly as your partner never declared her assets during the divorce proceedings.
