The investor, born in 1962, and his wife have four children from their only marriage. Billionaire Marc Rowan and his wife live a private life, known for their charitable efforts and are major political donors.

The American businessman has a net worth of $6.7 billion and is CEO of Apollo Global Management after former CEO Leon Black stepped down in 2021. He also owns several restaurants in the Hamptons. Meanwhile, Carolyn owns a luxury fashion accessories line.

Page Six is ​​unclear whether the couple signed a prenuptial agreement. The newspaper said that living apart but still getting married is not unheard of among the billionaire class because divorce can lead to a complicated, expensive and years-long asset division battle.

Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, with a net worth of $22 billion, is known as “one of New York’s hottest bachelors” despite still being married to his wife of nearly half a decade, Wendy. Meanwhile, another billionaire, John Paulson, is in the midst of a lengthy, costly legal battle with his ex-girlfriend Jenny. Meanwhile, hedge fund manager Paulson & Co. is engaged to his new girlfriend, Alina de Almeida.

According to Page Six , billionaire Marc Rowan and his wife seem to be following the path of billionaire Eric Schmidt. Representatives of the Apollo Global Management CEO couple did not comment on the information on Page Six .
