Episode Details

A South Korean court has ordered SK Group chairman Chey Tae-won to pay his ex-wife, former presidential daughter Roh So-yeong, a jaw-dropping 944 billion won — nearly half a billion pounds — in a divorce case dubbed “the divorce of the century.” Though slightly less than last year’s 1.38 trillion won ruling, the settlement reflects soaring asset values, especially in SK Hynix shares fueled by the AI boom. The couple, married since 1988 and parents of three, began divorce proceedings in 2017 after Chey admitted to an affair. The case isn’t over — either party can appeal to the Supreme Court, and Roh skipped the latest hearing. Meanwhile, Chey is jet-setting with the South Korean president to Silicon Valley, aiming to woo tech giants like OpenAI and Nvidia for AI and chip investments — all while his personal finances are being dissected in court.
