Morgan’s Divorce Settlement

Sonja Morgan was once in a marital relationship with John Adams Morgan, a member of the prominent American family with banking dynasty, Morgan Family. Her ex-husband, John Adams, is a sailor, Olympic Champion, and chairman and founder of Morgan Joseph TriArtisan Group, Inc. The former pair exchanged their wedding vows in 1998 and eventually divorced seven years later, in 2006.

Various online sources claim that the ex-husband of Sonja Morgan, John Adams Morgan, owes Sonja around $3 million as a portion of their divorce settlement. Also, he owes $300 thousand in child support of their daughter, Quincy Adams Morgan.

Moreover, after divorce from John, Sonja had even filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy citing $19,8 million in debts and only $13.5 million in assets. However, while appearing on Andy Cohen‘s ‘Watch What Happens Live‘ talk show, she revealed that she paid a hundred percent of her debt on the dollar.

Sonja Morgan’s Real Estates

Despite filing for bankruptcy and paying all the debt along with additional administration fees of about $2 million, Sonja Morgan still has millions of dollars to her name. All the credits go to her impressive real-estate portfolio. She owns a five-story townhouse on the Upper East Side of NYC.

Earlier, Sonja kept it on rent for $32K per month. But, due to the pandemic, she herself moved into the townhouse and saved on paying rent at her pied-à-Terre in Columbus Circle.

In November 2019, Sonja listed her 4,650 sq. ft. townhouse in sale for $10.75 million, which she removed on 10 July 2020. Again, she put it back on the market for $8.75 million with a ‘Covid discount’ on 17 August 2020. However, it seems like no one has purchased Morgan’s five-story townhouse yet.

So, with the rising success, Sonja Morgan’s net worth is only set to soar higher. Despite various financial hardships in the past, she is financially stable at the moment. She has amassed enough dollars to give a lavish life to her daughter, pay taxes to the government in time. She also has a considerable sum to get herself insurance and enjoy luxurious vacations in exotic locations.
