Steve Cohen has been married to his wife, Alexandra Cohen, since 1992. Their relationship has only grown stronger with time.
Alexandra met Steve through a dating service in 1991 and shared the wedding vows a year later.
The American hedge fund manager and owner of the New York Mets, with an estimated net worth of $17.5 billion, along with his wife, lured a huge sum of money to spread awareness about Psychedelic drugs.
Steven A. Cohen is the founder of hedge fund Point72 Asset Management and now-closed S.A.C. Capital Advisors.
The S.A.C. Capital Advisors pleaded guilty to insider trading and agreed to pay $900 million in forfeiture and $900 million in fines, one of the biggest criminal cases against a hedge fund.
Besides, in the upcoming movie Dumb Money, which will release on September 22, 2023, Vincent D’Onofrio plays the character of Steve.
Steve Cohen Wife Alexandra Cohen
Steve Cohen and his wife, Alexandra, have been together since they met through an online dating application in 1991.
Steve’s wife was born to Rosa and Ralph in Harle, New York, and grew up in Washington Heights. He attended New York’s Manhattan College and graduated with a degree in communications.
After college, she worked in the financial industry until she tied the knot with Steve.
Since their marriage, Alex invested her time in raising their family and focused on their philanthropic endeavors.
Alex also serves as the president of the Steven & Alexandra Cohen Foundation, founded in 2001.
Having suffered from Lyme disease herself, her foundation aims to help Lyme and tickborne disease research, underserved communities, children, and sustainability.
Moreover, prior to Alex’s relationship with Steve, she was a single mother, and Steve also had two kids from his previous marriage with Patricia.
After a few years of their divorce, Patricia filed a case against her billionaire ex-husband, but due to insufficient evidence, a federal judge ruled out the case.
She asked for more child support and accused her ex of filing a separate income tax return the year after he filed for divorce.
Mets Owner Advocate Of Psychedelics
The Cohen couple reportedly put out $5 million to fund the effort to bring mind-bending psychedelic drugs into the mainstream.
This donation was made by the Steven & Alexandra Cohen Foundation to MAPS, the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelics Studies.
MAPS is financially entrenched in pushing the US Food and Drug Administration to approve MDMA to treat post-traumatic stress disorder.
They plan on submitting a new drug application for MDMA, and if it gets approved by FDA to assist in PTSD treatment, MAPS plans to start a fund to give individuals in need access to MDMA.
