But life for Cohen, it seems, isn't so sweet, as he has an ex-wife problem. Divorced from ex-wife Patricia some 20 years ago, Cohen has always supported his former wife and their two children, but apparently that's not enough.

The first Mrs Cohen has been claiming that her ex-husband hid millions of dollars from her when they negotiated their divorce settlement all those years back, and is now seeking legal redress to get a $300m belated payoff. Patricia has also alleged that Cohen hid his money by funneling it through a New York real estate operator who was later convicted on fraud charges. The hedgie denies the allegations.

And The New York magazine claims that Patricia Cohen allegedly once described her ex in an e-mail to a  friend: 'Having been married to him, I know what he's made of and it's not much; he's a coward. The twisted man is at heart a wimp'. No bitterness there, then. The magazine also says that Steven Cohen recently told one of his friends: 'She's a terrorist on a mission to make my life a living hell'.
