The couple married in 1996, at the heyday for her husband who worked on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange.
Their life immediately changed to one of luxury.
‘There were mansions, a private helicopter, lavish trips, yachts, jewels, everything one would expect to come with the territory of being the wife of a powerful market-maker,’ the website New York Social Diary wrote.
During the economic crisis across the globe in 2008, the couple experienced tremendous loss in money – Suzanne estimated losses to be at $100million.
‘It makes you realize, what is the money really worth?’ she told Fox Business.
‘What am I doing? It’s a house, who cares?’
These stories became the driving forces behind her books.
Anthony Corso refused to address details surrounding the divorce out of respect for his soon to be ex-wife.
‘We’re both on the same page with raising our beautiful daughter,’ he said.
