Billion Dollar Divorce: A South Korean Tycoon's Fight for Control The world of high stakes divorce cases is nothing new in South Korea.
The latest development in what has been dubbed the "divorce of the century" involves Chey Tae won, chairman of SK Group, one of the country's most influential conglomerates, and his ex wife Roh Soh yeong.
At stake is a payout of $666 million, which represents just one third of their marital assets. This figure has been upheld by a court ruling, but Chey is appealing to have it overturned.
