A South Korean court has ordered SK Group chairman Chey Tae-won to pay his
ex-wife 944 billion won (about $643 million) in a divorce property settlement, a
ruling that brings the long-running case closer to conclusion. If upheld, the
award would be the largest divorce settlement in South Korean history. Bloomberg
Billionaires Index estimates Chey’s net worth at roughly $5.6 billion, more than
double over the past year amid an AI-driven surge in his wealth. The court has
not specified whether the payment will be made in cash or shares.
