Goldman Sachs banker offers GBP500,000 to an escort for leaving her pensioner husband
Quote:
A millionaire banker offered an escort girl £500,000 to leave her pensioner husband, a court has heard.

Yann Samuelides, 35, a managing director of Goldman Sachs, became so infatuated with the Slovakian escort girl that he wanted to make her his wife.

And being a money man, he calculated that 28-year-old Alzbeta Holmokova was worth £500,000.
Leaving aside the sheer stupidity of this deal, I kind of want to know how exactly this Samuelides came up with the amount of money she is worth. Are we talking "present value" here, and what was his risk management strategy (aside from apparently threatening to kill himself)?

What are the odds of his losing his job soon given the PR flack being reported also?
