David Geffen’s Estranged Husband Seeks Spousal Support, Financial Disclosure Amid $8.7B Divorce

David Geffen, the 82-year-old billionaire entertainment mogul, and his husband of nearly two years, 32-year-old David Armstrong (also known as Donovan Michaels), are embroiled in a contentious divorce with no prenuptial agreement in place. Armstrong has filed legal documents requesting spousal support, attorney's fees, and a court determination of rights to community and separate property, challenging the nature and extent of Geffen's assets, which are largely investments and considered separate under California law. Despite Geffen's agreement to pay spousal support and legal fees, Armstrong seeks a more extensive probe into the couple's financial holdings. Their brief marriage, combined with the significant age gap and lack of a prenup, raises stakes for a potentially complex division of assets in the divorce proceedings. Geffen's net worth is estimated at $8.7 billion, accumulated through his co-founding of major record labels and DreamWorks Animation, while Armstrong's background includes work as a model, dancer, and personal trainer. The case highlights the challenges that arise when vast wealth, complex assets, and personal relationships intersect in high-profile divorces.
