A businessman has been ordered to pay his wealthy ex-wife around £17million after a family court judge branded him a 'unprincipled rogue'.
Judge Sir Peter Singer said property investor Didier Thiry, 53, had shown a 'sadistic side to his personality' since his relationship with Alisa Thiry, 50, broke down.
Ms Thiry - who was previously married to Stephen Marks, founder of high street chain French Connection - pocketed a £37million divorce settlement a decade ago, said Sir Peter.
In her latest divorce, the former model claimed Mr Thiry refused to honour the terms of a pre-nuptial agreement and demanded he return a loan her company made to his during their marriage.
The judge said the eight-figure sum he awarded Ms Thiry could be described as 'restorative justice'. He also ordered Mr Thiry to pay Ms Thiry's £456,000 legal bills.
Details of the award emerged in a ruling by the judge following private hearings in the Family Division of the High Court in London.
