INTERNATIONAL – A new billionaire woman could emerge from what may turn out to be one of Asia’s biggest divorce settlements.
Roh Soh-yeong, the wife of Chey Tae-won, South Korean conglomerate SK Group’s chairman, filed a suit Wednesday demanding 42.3% of his stake in SK Holdings Co., the Maeil Business Newspaper reported. 
The shares Roh is asking for are worth $1.2 billion based on Thursday’s mid-day trading price in Seoul and — should she win the case — the settlement would make her the second-biggest shareholder of the company after Chey.
