GermanyThe South Korean billionaire Chey Tae-won has been ordered by a court to pay his former wife, Roh Soh-yeong, approximately 566 million euros as part of their divorce settlement. This would make it the most expensive divorce in South Korea’s history if neither party appeals the ruling. The couple, who married in 1988 and had three children together, divorced in 2015 after Chey admitted to having a child with another woman. The dispute over asset division has drawn significant public attention, with Roh arguing that her contribution to building Chey’s economic empire should be recognized. The court considered this argument but ultimately set the payment amount significantly lower than the 1.4 billion won initially demanded by Roh. The ruling does not appear to affect Chey’s control over SK Hynix, a major semiconductor manufacturer. Chey’s wealth has grown substantially due to the boom in artificial intelligence, which has increased demand for SK Hynix’s advanced memory chips.
