John Paulson and his fiancée, Alina de Almeida, are planning a luxurious overseas wedding as they await the birth of their second child. One of Trump’s earliest supporters, the Paulson & Co. CEO is among the most prominent figures in high finance. The Queens native made it big on Wall Street during the 2008 financial crisis by betting against subprime mortgages, taking home about $8 billion in pay in 2007 and 2008 combined. The couple, who have a 33-year age gap, welcomed their first child, Jacqueline, in 2025. According to Page Six, Paulson, 70, and De Almeida, 37, are planning their destination wedding in Monaco and are expected to have a high-profile guest list. “We chose Monaco because it’s ultra-sophisticated and elegant,” Paulson shared with Page Six. “It’s the creme de la creme of Europe.” The couple is planning their ceremony at Villa La Vigie, located on the luxurious cape of the Monte Carlo Beach, with rooms priced at around $22,000 per night, and the reception at the five-star Hotel de Paris. According to De Almeida, Paulson, who has two adult children with his ex-wife, Jenny Zaharia, “is just a great partner.” She is the founder of the health and wellness brand Effective Lifestyle and has experience working at Columbia and Cornell New York Presbyterian Hospital for her residency and clinical nutrition rotations. “My life is like a dream come true,” the soon-to-be billionaire wife says.
