Jackpot! Bethenny Frankel's New Man Is Worth $15M — Finally An Equal Partner?
May 21 2015, Published 7:35 a.m. ET
Bethenny Frankel's days of being a sugar mama are over! While she's yet to officially divorce her estranged ex, Jason Hoppy, she's been spending time with Florida businessman Michael Toppel, and documents filed in his own divorce show he's got plenty of cash of his own!
Frankel, 44, was spotted all across Manhattan with Toppel, 49, earlier this month, after spending a day at the beach with him in Miami back in March. But before Frankel came on the scene, Toppel had a messy divorce too.
Toppel split from Brooke Toppel Conway in 2013 after ten years of marriage, claiming their relationship was "irretrievably broken.":
According to court documents obtained by RadarOnline.com, he was worth more than $15 million at the time, and making more than $61,000 per month. His assets included a Mercedes Benz, a Landrover, two homes in Boca Raton, one in Telluride, and more than $10 million in business interests.
Although he and his wife had a prenup, like Frankel and Hoppy, he agreed to give his ex $450,000 in alimony and $5,000 a month. He also paid more than $10,000 towards his ex's credit card debt.
In short, it seems Toppel might have the resources to keep up with Frankel's jet-setting lifestyle. She's denied they're dating, but should they go the distance, she won't become a bonus mom: His divorce documents state that his teen daughter with Toppel Conway won't have to refer to anyone else as mother, father, or anything of the like.
