David Geffen vs. Donovan Michaels: Billionaire Battle Over Hidden Fortunes

Billionaire Music Mogul David Geffen's Divorce Turns Nasty: Estranged Husband Demands Access to His Finances

The drama-filled divorce of billionaire music mogul David Geffen and his 32-year-old husband, Donovan Michaels (also known as David Armstrong), is heating up! The couple tied the knot in 2023 without a prenup, leaving their finances in shambles. As their contentious divorce continues to unfold, Michaels has made it clear that he won't back down in his fight for financial transparency.

Michaels, a former go-go dancer and personal trainer, claims that Geffen is hiding the true extent of his wealth. The young husband has demanded that Geffen disclose all of his financial statements and assets, as required by law. However, Geffen's team is pushing back, insisting that their client only needs to pay Michaels $50,000 per month for a year – retroactive credit included.

But what's really going on behind the scenes? Sources close to the couple reveal that Michaels has been struggling to make ends meet since their split in February. He still lives rent-free in Geffen's luxurious Manhattan pad, which costs a whopping $15,000 per month! Meanwhile, Geffen claims he's already shelled out $200,000 in cash and another $200,000 for Michaels' rehab – details of which remain sketchy.

The drama doesn't stop there. In a separate civil suit filed in July, Michaels accused Geffen of using a "toxic mix of seduction, control, promises of love, and lavish displays of wealth" to entrap him into their nine-year relationship. The lawsuit alleges that Geffen exploited Michaels' vulnerabilities as a young man from the foster care system.

Geffen's team has dismissed these claims as "ludicrous and contrived." However, the civil suit reveals some interesting details about their relationship. According to court documents, Michaels met Geffen on the dating website SeekingArrangements.com, where they reportedly had sex for $10,000 that night. Over time, their arrangement evolved into a "Marvin-type partnership," with Geffen promising to support Michaels financially for life.

But what about Geffen's previous relationships? In 2012, he dated Jeremy Lingvall, who was 28 years younger than him at the time. The same year, Geffen also dated Jamie Kuntz, a 20-year-old former college football player. It seems that Geffen has a history of dating much younger men – and using his wealth and influence to keep them under his control.

As the divorce proceedings continue, it's clear that Michaels won't back down without a fight. His lawyer, Samantha Spector, is determined to expose Geffen's financial secrets and ensure that her client receives fair compensation for their years together.

"This is not just about money," Spector says in court documents. "This is about the truth and about making sure that David Geffen doesn't get away with hiding his wealth and using his power to manipulate those around him."

With millions of dollars on the line, this divorce drama is far from over. Stay tuned for more updates as this juicy saga continues to unfold!
