Michael Fuchs

Fuchs, along with his business partner Aby Rosen, controls “a very significant” amount of midtown Manhattan through RFR Holding LLC - including Chrysler Building. Fuchs formed RFR in the early 1990s with his childhood friend Rosen. The two grew up together in Frankfurt before separately making their way to New York. They founded RFR just as the property market slumped. In addition to the Chrysler Building, the two also own another New York landmark, the Seagram Building. He puts his net worth at around 1.2 billion pounds ($1.7 billion). Fuchs married Alvina Collardeau-Fuchs in New York in 2012 and the family moved to London some four years later. Their divorce following the breakdown of an eight-year marriage is now in the London courts.
