The pugnacious Revlon chairman has a pattern of battling his exes in court: ex-employees, ex-associates, and especially ex-wives links of london sale. But when he sued his octogenarian ex-father-in-law Robert Cohen, he was in for a big surprise. RONALD PERELMAN may not be the most disputatious tycoon on the planet, but he sure spends a lot of time in the courtroom. Something about the bullet-headed billionaire engenders conflict. The list of formerly close associates and relations with whom Perelman has engaged in knockdown, drag-out legal battles includes a former chief financial officer of his company, a former vice chairman, and all four ex-wives links of london.
Perelman, evidently, has issues with exes. So when the Revlon chairman sued his ex-father-in-law Robert Cohen and his ex-brother-in-law James Cohen in 2008, hardly anyone batted an eyelash. Robert Cohen is the father of Perelman’s late ex-wife, the society journalist Claudia Cohen Links of London Bracelets. Perelman’s suit sought to wrest control of half of Robert Cohen’s fortune and bestow it on Samantha Perelman, the daughter he had with Claudia Cohen–even though Samantha is one of six grandchildren who are descendants of Robert Links of London Charms.
