The divorce trial between John Overdeck, co-founder of hedge fund Two Sigma, and Laura Overdeck is being held in a Newark, New Jersey court and could lead to one of the largest divorce settlements in history. He has offered $723 million; she is seeking about $2.2 billion, 35% of what she considers her husband's stake in the firm to be worth. Lawyers cited in the case point to lessons such as signing a prenuptial agreement, valuing the company before marriage, paying a market-rate salary and separating the company from the family office.
