We're talking about Peter Goodwin, the affluent Virginia resident, embroiled in a heated divorce after being unfaithful to his spouse with a younger nanny.
Peter Goodwin's High-Profile Divorce: Allegations of Adultery, Money, and Custody Issues
Peter Goodwin, the 40-year-old son of billionaire businessman and philanthropist William H Goodwin Jr, is currently embroiled in a high-profile divorce case with his wife Cara, a child psychologist and author.
The couple tied the knot in 2014 and share four children. However, Cara accused Peter of announcing their divorce on Christmas Day 2023 while she held their four-month-old daughter. Court filings reveal Cara also accused Peter of abandoning her on that day.
The prenuptial agreement between Peter and Cara entitled Cara to $10 million if they split before the 10-year mark, with additional $1 million for every year beyond 10 years, capped at $50 million. Despite this, Cara has contested the divorce and is seeking more assets in court.
Peter's lavish lifestyle and alleged adulterous acts have been a focus of the case. Annette Lombard, aged 27, is accused of having an affair with Peter. The couple allegedly engaged in adulterous acts at luxury destinations including the Four Seasons in Surfside, Florida, Jackson Hole in Wyoming, and the Goodwins' Palm Beach estate.
Peter eventually promoted Lombard to vice president in his office, and she moved into the Goodwin household to help care for the children during the pandemic in 2020.
Peter Goodwin's total net worth is over $1 billion. He is known for his passion for fast cars, luxury watches, and an extravagant lifestyle. However, there is no publicly available information indicating that Peter has been involved in any philanthropic initiatives connected to his father William Goodwin Jr, who is a major philanthropist, donating tens of millions to education and cancer research.
William Goodwin's company, Riverstone Group, holds assets including Richmond's Jefferson Hotel, Charlottesville's Keswick Hall, and Kiawah Island Golf Resort in South Carolina.
The custody issue remains a contentious point in the divorce case. Cara has alleged that Peter abused prescription medication and struggled with mental health during the marriage, which could impact his ability to care for the children.
The divorce case is ongoing, and the outcome remains uncertain. However, the allegations of adultery, money, and custody issues have certainly made it a high-profile case.
