The CEO of a major insurance company, in his late-60s, some might say bullheaded, certainly outspoken, but there's a kindness to his eyes, and he summers in the palatial estate built for the treasurer of a Yugoslavian king, which is nice. On the other hand, possibly a cheapskate, and probably not marriage material, which is to say, he's married, but maybe open to the idea of a little additional companionship.</p>
<p>From Jess Pressler's <em>New York</em> <a href="http://nymag.com/news/features/bob-benmosche-aig-2012-10/">magazine profile</a> of American Insurance Group CEO Robert Benmosche:<!--more--></p>
<blockquote><p><em>Benmosche was so notoriously frugal that soon after they got married, his wife Denise granted him a divorce just to avoid unfavorable tax laws. “We were in the hotel in Santo Domingo, and I said, ‘Oh, look, honey, we can get a divorce for $400,’ ” she says. “I knew if we didn’t go through with it, he would be so angry come April 15.” Benmosche pulls a sitcom-­husband face. They remarried the following year, although for the past ten they’ve had what he calls an “off-and-on relationship” that seems, at least in Croatia, to be mostly on. Still, Denise lives in Manhattan, while Benmosche, who has various “female companions,” lives mainly in tax-friendly Boca Raton. I’m wondering how rude it would be to ask if finances had anything to do with their not getting a second divorce when Benmosche comes up with an anecdote he says describes his “philosophy of life,” from when he was driving the Coke truck back in high school.<br />

<p>(If you count yourself as too classy to settle for the "various" companionship a government-owned CEO, fear not: Mr. Benmosche expects the Treasury to divest its remaining stake in AIG by the <a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-10-19/aig-chief-benmosche-says-treasury-may-sell-its-stake-this-year.html">end of the year</a>.)</p>
