[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The MV house is worth $4.7m apparently, on top of her multi-million dollar NYC apartment. She's a descendant of the Vanderbilt family. And just to keep it current, the Daily Mail notes that she's a Harvard alum whose family has donated a building and lots of $$. Doesn't make her husband less of a jerk, but the story is a bit less compelling when you realize she is an uber-wealthy socialite.

Eh. Disagree. My takeaway was he saw her as an opportunity to move up in the world, as a senior associate probably already knew he wasn’t making partner, and he likely never loved her. Then because of the pandemic he just pulled the plug on the whole farce since he didn’t want to be stuck in the house with her and the kids. [/quote]

I also suspect he was a social climber. He already had a distant connection to high society. People who get a little taste of it but are acutely aware they are on the fringes are way more bitter about it than regular people who have no connection at all. She would have had a more honest marriage with someone who didn't care about her pedigree at all. It might not have lasted long, but she wouldn't have been ghosted.[/quote]

We summer nearby and there are a lot of people who grew up going there b/c 40/50 years ago it was not an expensive destination yet can't afford more than a week or two now. We know multiple families where the current parents grew up summering there at houses owned by their parents or grandparents and at some point those houses were sold (before the nantucket & vineyard markets went nuts) and they know they'll never be able to acquire a house there or the lifestyle they grew up with. That said, with his current job he has attained a high enough income to get at least an entry level place there. Perhaps that's part of it in that he no longer needed her to achieve the lifestyle he had gotten used to.[/quote]
