Millionaire businessman Mr Work was ordered to pay his wife half his £140m fortune in 2015, but fought the court’s decision, saying that his wife ‘stayed at home’ during their two decades long marriage, during which she raised their two children. He argued that he made all the family’s money and claimed to posses a “quality of genius” that enabled him to do this without the support of his wife.
Today, the Court of Appeal disagreed and dismissed Mr Work’s appeal. He must now pay his estranged wife half his fortune, after the judge accepted she was a 'good homemaker and good mother', adding that it was down to her willingness to move to Japan that the husband was able to amass his wealth.
