HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) – United Technologies Corp. Chairman George David is set to return to the witness stand as he fights his wife’s effort to win $100 million in their divorce trial in Connecticut.
The trial resumes Monday morning in Hartford Family Court.
The 67-year-old David testified Friday that he took his estranged wife, Marie Douglas-David, on extravagant vacations and showered her with jewelry in 2004 and 2005 as the couple were trying to save their marriage.
But Douglas-David, a 36-year-old Swedish countess, says it was all part of his efforts to coerce her into signing a postnuptial agreement that would give her $43 million if they divorce. She’s asking a judge to declare the agreement invalid.
The couple married in 2002 and do not have any children together. His net worth is estimated at nearly $300 million.
