Tycoon wife's fury over £20 million divorce settlement

Tycoon Scot Young, who is accused by his estranged wife of hiding his fortune to avoid a divorce settlement, is worth £40 million, a High Court judge ruled today.

Mr Justice Moor said Michelle Young should receive a lump sum of £20 million.

But Mrs Young reacted with fury to the ruling, saying, "It's disgraceful. I stand by what I said. He's worth billions."

Mrs Young claims he has hidden "a vast fortune", but Mr Young claims he is penniless and has debts which added up to £28 million.
