Wilbur Ross: Turnaround Artist or Man About Town?

Billionaire turnaround investor Wilbur Ross is 69, grew up in Weehawken, NJ and recently married a socialite 15 years his junior, according to the NY Social Diary. Subsequently, Ross, who ranked 278th in the Forbes 400 list in 2004, saw his social life take off:

The latest Ross marriage, like his business career, marked a crest of the wave in the life of this man whose public profile theretofore had been quiet and low-key. Hilary Geary Ross almost immediately brought a glamour to her man’s life. They acquired a big house in Palm Beach. She sold her apartment at the posh 580 Park Avenue and moved to his newly redecorated (by Mario Buatta, and photographed – cover also – for Architectural Digest) digs in the Sherry Netherland overlooking Central Park and celebrated with several cocktail parties entertaining hundreds of their friends. (They retain the estate in Southampton that she inherited from her first husband.) They appeared on the cover of Avenue magazine (Hilary also writes a monthly social column for Quest).

Comment: Sounds like Old Wilbur may be taking his eye off the ball!
