Report: Las Vegas Casino Mogul Being Held Captive By Lawyers, Ex-Wife Claims

The ex-wife of Las Vegas casino mogul Kirk Kerkorian is claiming that he’s being held captive by his lawyers, news.au.com reported. However, representatives of Tracinda Corporation, Kerkorian’s company, have denied the allegations.

Kerkorian is 95 years of age and reportedly made billions developing iconic Las Vegas properties such as Caesars Palace and MGM. He’s one of old Vegas’ legends.

Lisa Bonder Kerkorian, a former professional tennis player who was married to Kerkorian for just 28 days more than a decade ago, reportedly filed a legal claim that her ex-husband has been kept from his daughter for the past five years. (He also allegedly hasn’t been seen in about a year.) The daughter is not biologically Kerkorian’s, however.

According to Wikipedia, "Bonder was involved in a high-profile child support lawsuit with her ex-husband of 28 days, billionaire Kirk Kerkorian. Kerkorian, forty-eight years older than Bonder, suspected that Bonder’s ex-boyfriend, Steve Bing, was the father of her daughter. Kerkorian hired “private-eye to the stars” Anthony Pellicano to take dental floss from Bing’s trashcan to do DNA paternity testing. It was confirmed that Bing was the father and not Kerkorian."

Kerkorian’s company replied to the hostage allegations: “There are no facts to support Bonder’s claims and therefore no merit whatsoever to the allegations she has made”.

Kerkorian reportedly pays $100,000 a month to his ex-wife.
