Entertainment Mogul
Geffen Files for Divorce After Short Marriage
Published
Prominent entertainment mogul David Geffen has made headlines by filing for divorce after nearly two years of marriage.
Geffen entered marital bliss with David Armstrong, known on stage as Donovan Michaels, but their union endured for only 1 year and 11 months.
In this legal matter, Geffen has enlisted the expertise of renowned attorney Laura Wasser and has cited irreconcilable differences as the primary reason for the divorce.
This unexpected announcement has caught many by surprise, particularly given that the 82-year-old media titan and his 32-year-old spouse entered marriage without a prenuptial agreement.
With a substantial estimated net worth of $8.7 billion, as reported by Forbes, Geffen has accumulated considerable wealth throughout his life. Given his retirement from active business pursuits for the last 15 years, he reportedly derives his income from investments rather than a regular salary. This is pertinent in California’s legal arena, where separate property laws may limit financial claims from his spouse in this divorce.
Not one to shy away from giving back, Geffen has garnered respect for his philanthropic efforts throughout his distinguished career.
In terms of spousal support, Armstrong is set to receive one year of assistance, which aligns with California law dictating that spousal support typically lasts for half the marriage’s duration. However, the exact financial figures related to this support remain undisclosed in the divorce proceedings.

According to the court filing, Geffen has also pledged to cover the costs of spousal support and legal fees throughout this process.
