The French banker, 51, half-brother of Nicolas Sarkozy, a former French president, agreed to a divorce settlement during a virtual hearing on January 13th.

Michael Mosberg, a lawyer for the father of two children Sarkozy, told the New York Supreme Court at this previous hearing that “the deal is already over.”

Nancy Chemtob, who represents Olsen, said “all issues are resolved,” but no details were given in court.

Olsen, who runs her fashion line The Row, is said to have had an “iron grip” meaning that her estimated fortune of around $ 250 million is certain to happen during Sarkozy’s separation.

During the hearing earlier this month, Mosberg told the judge, ‘Since this morning we have reached a final agreement. We just have to review this agreement and reach out to you. ‘

Judge Sattler asked Chemtob if it was correct and said, “We have been working very hard, we have an agreement and we will be able to sign it … all problems are solved.”

The judge, who had given both parties numerous adjournments on the case, said, “I hope so.”

But he added, “Until I see the test, I’ll get my feet on the fire a little bit.”

She said: “I trust and I think this is happening, but I will keep control of the case to make sure this is done and we divorce them.”
