If these kids can't make it work..... (Koch heir wants ring back)

[underpants]

Wyatt Koch — the son of billionaire Bill Koch — is suing his ex-fiancée to get back an 8.24-carat ring after she broke off their engagement, according to court documents. Wyatt’s lawyers claim that he purchased the pricey Oscar Heyman cushion cut diamond with two tapered baguette diamonds for $180,000 in March for a Tallahassee lassie named Ivie Gabrielle Slocumb.

But come May — after she allegedly “broke off” the engagement — Slocumb kept the rock. Wyatt’s lawyers say the ring’s now worth $250,000, and Wyatt also wants $15,000 in damages.

According to court documents filed in Florida circuit court, Wyatt — known in Palm Beach as the flame-haired, flamboyantly attired CEO of his own Palm Beach fashion line, Wyatt Ingraham — has “demanded the return of the ring .?.?. on multiple occasions” and says that the would-be bride “received the ring as a conditional gift. She refuses to return it despite proper demand and the condition not being fulfilled.”

A receipt filed with the court reflects that he also splashed out on a $7,750 “platinum diamond pendant” with 56 round diamonds, that’s not part of the suit.

1. Ambivalent On This

That's a lot of money for her to keep the rock. However, the $15k in damages is ridiculous!

On a second note, Wyatt, learn how to tie a tie.

2. That sucks

Regardless of the lineage, keeping a ring after breaking off an engagement says far more about her than it does him. It's just poor taste at the least.

7. Bearing in mind you know nothing about her, their relationship, or the reason for breaking up

[Blue_Adept]

12. Right, so as a baseline one has to think it sucks in general

I'd say that about anyone that had a story like that posted about them. The common thing is that when you break off an engagement, you return the ring. It's that simple.

14. You could also post your reply to probably half the other judgmental posts in this thread

Any reason you haven't?

20. Bearing in mind that rarely stops your own consistent speculations.

17. I gave mine back even though he was wanting us to be non-monogamous.

And even though he hadn't cheated yet. Many said since he was changing the "contract", not me, I was entitled to keep it. But I didn't want the reminder around and figured he could use the money.

And just felt it made the break more final.

18. That's where I've been on it as well.

I didn't want to keep that reminder and I certainly didn't want to profit from it by selling it afterward. There was a better sense of finality by returning it and making a break from that relationship in a physical way.

21. Yes, but you were probably engaged for love, not money

She wouldn't have given his lard ass the time of day if he wasn't due to inherit billions. So I'm sure she feels justified in keeping the ring as payment for services rendered. BTW, here is a pic of him modeling one of his ugly ass shirts.

22. I agree. I think it is accepted that an engagement ring is a conditional gift.

It does say something about her.

3. Awwww. That cherubic little face looks just like Daddy's.

Fuck you, sperm lottery winner.

4. Is this a first??

"Flame-haired!" "Flamboyantly attired!" I had to go back and re-read that to be sure that it really was a man who was being defined by appearance and clothing.

[MLAA]

19. +1.....finally the tiniest bit of equal treatment 😉

[klook]

5. "Flamboyantly attired"...

Wooo! Satin lapels! </mind blown>

6. A conditional gift?

Sorry dummy; if you didn't get her to sign a pre-nup that covers this, the gift came with no strings.

[dsc]

10. I think it depends upon the state

In some, if she breaks the engagement the ring is returned, if he breaks it, it isn't. In others, she keeps regardless. I am not sure if there are any where it is returned regardless.

16. I'm sure conservatives don't believe in burdensome Governmental regulations like this...

15. Its Florida, he will get it back.

It’s a conditional gift there. Donee calls it off or is unfaithful, donor gets the ring back.

Unless he broke it off or was unfaithful. Somehow I can’t see that being the case.

8. Ewwwww

Can't blame her for breaking it off. Notice the body language in this picture. She doesn't look very enamored, does she?

[WhiteTara]

9. The look on her face says

eww...what am I doing with him? Don't judge me, I thought it would be easy to marry a rich asshole.

[jeffreyi]

11. That's why her expression is similar to

The cat who ate the canary. Let it go. You just got a tax cut that will pay for a dozen rings like that, at least. Hey, the ring trickled down already! Tax scam bill is redeemed!

13. Hmm, up until the mid 1900s, women commonly sued for broken engagements

Breach of contract or something like that. The engagement ring was a symbol of that promise and was sometimes kept by the bride-to-be as compensation. I promise to marry you, let's have sex..a woman losing her virginity back then was seriously a loss.

Now men are suing for a broken engagement? He wants compensation for what? His virginity? She should get a reward for that.
