    Steel Partners Founder Cries Foul On Ex’s Cries Of Poverty

    May 15 2014 | 12:21pm ET

    Annabelle Bond is the daughter of a billionaire and girlfriend of a millionaire, facts which mean the $15,000 per month her ex-boyfriend, hedge fund manager Warren Lichtenstein, pays in child support ought to be plenty.

    Lichtenstein, the founder of Steel Partners, poured scorn on Bond’s claim of poverty and asked a Manhattan court to block the enforcement of a Hong Kong child-support judgment that could cost him $600,000. Bond lives in the Chinese city with her six-year-old daughter with Liechtenstein, Isabella.

    Bond is the daughter of former HSBC Chairman John Bond and is dating former Goldman Sachs executive Andrew Cader, who claims to have loaned Bond $4.1 million and who pays Bond’s rent.

    “At the same time that she is crying poverty in this case, she nonetheless lives in the most expensive section of Hong Kong, has two full-time maids and is driven about in a chauffeur-driven Range Rover,” to say nothing about her “fur coats and horses” and vacations that take up 100 days in each year. According to Stanley Arkin, Lichtenstein’s lawyer, Bond has already been to Los Angeles and Aspen, Colo., twice this year, as well as to Austria, Japan, Malaysia and St. Barts.

    In addition, she lives with Cader, who “owns an equestrian estate in New York, a mansion in St. Barts, a home in Aspen, a sailing yacht, a 15,000-bottle wine collection and a private jet.” And Arkin ridiculed the “incredible assertion that Sir John—one of the richest men in the world—could not afford to continue making £2,000 per month allowance payments” to his daughter “due to his pending retirement.”

    Bond’s lawyer, Seth Lapidow, said Lichtenstein’s claims are “based entirely on mischaracterizations of both the law and the facts.”

    Last year, Lichtenstein sued Cader for $200,000, alleging that he conspired with Bond to make her appear poorer than she is as part of the Hong Kong proceedings.
