Simon Konecki biography

Adele's ex-husband has been in the limelight for his million-dollar divorce case. This makes us wonder what Simon Konecki net worth is and how he makes his money.

Known for his largesse nature, Mr. Konecki has contributed remarkably towards society with his charity organization and has taken the duty to bring down the scarcity of availability of clean water. The philanthropist husband of Adele isn't a fan of capturing the limelight, but his initiatives and the divorce settlement have intrigued many to know about his life and finances.

Simon Konecki was born to Rosemary Konecki and Adrew Konecki on 17 April 1974 in New York, United States. His family later moved to London, UK, where he spent his days growing up. He got admitted into Elton College after graduating from Prestigious Boys' School. His family is British and he has two sisters- Victoria and Alexandra.

It won't be wrong to say that Mr. Konecki has devoted all his life working for philanthropic endeavors from the time he realized his duty towards the welfare of the needy. He is a prominent charity CEO who co-founded Drop4Drop, which works to ensure that everyone gets access to clean water. The organization's website states that more than 50% of the people get hospitalized yearly due to water-related health issues.

He is an avid animal lover, so he donates to animal shelters and supports People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA).

Simon Konecki was married to Clary Fisher, a fashion stylist, in 2004, and they share a daughter. However, their relationship didn't work out due to the reported reason of Simon being associated with Adele, The Sun confirms, and they ended their wedding in 2008.

On the other hand, Adele doesn't confirm the rumors and says that she met Simon when he was already divorced. The couple began dating in 2011 and welcomed their son, Angelo, in October the next year. The Sun reports that they tied the knot in a private wedding ceremony in 2017. There were rumors that they both had a tough time together and parted ways long before Adele applied for a divorce.

It was in 2019 when Adele filed the divorce application. One of the richest singer's representatives, Benny Tarantini and Carl Fysh, informed about the couple's split to The Associated Press that, "They are committed to raising their son together lovingly. As always they ask for privacy. There will be no further comment," which isn't a weird thing because Adele usually keeps her personal life low-key.

Adele requested the court to keep the proceedings secret, and wherever the financial disclosures will be needed, a non-disclosure agreement will be in place. However, it is reported that the divorce cost her half of her fortune ($180 to $190 Million) at the time. Furthermore, she reportedly gifted a $7.28 home to Simon in Beverly Hills.

Their multi-million dollar divorce became the talk of the town because they didn't have a prenup in place. Despite the divorce, the duo decided to raise their kid together and share Angelo's custody. They share quite a bond as Simon lived just right across the street in a house that his now-ex purchased for him in LA. In 2022, Angelo's mother listed her house for sale in 2022.

When asked for the reason for their split, the Easy On Me singer responded, "I didn't really know myself," she told the magazine. "I thought I did. I don't know if it was because my Saturn return or if it was because I was well and truly sort of heading into my 30s, but I just didn't like who I was. I didn't really know myself. I thought I did. But I just didn't like who I was." She emphasized, "Neither of us hurt each other or anything like that."

Their divorce proceedings began in 2020 and it was finalized in March 2021. It is believed that Konecki got near about $140K in the settlement.
