NEW YORK | Society & Lifestyle
Love has taken centre stage in New York’s billionaire circles as Michael Bloomberg, the former mayor of New York City and one of the world’s wealthiest men, has married his longtime partner, Diana Taylor, after more than two decades together.
The couple exchanged vows in an intimate ceremony at their Upper East Side home in Manhattan, according to a statement attributed to Bloomberg’s spokesperson.
The private celebration was attended by close family members, including Bloomberg’s two daughters, Emma and Georgina.
Their marriage marks a new chapter in a relationship that has lasted 26 years, bringing together two prominent figures in New York’s business, political and philanthropic communities.
Who Is Diana Taylor, the Woman Who Married Michael Bloomberg?
Diana Taylor is far more than the wife of a billionaire. She is an accomplished American businesswoman, former New York State banking regulator and financial executive who has built a distinguished career of her own.
Taylor previously served as New York State Superintendent of Banks, a powerful regulatory position responsible for overseeing financial institutions operating in the state.
She has also held senior positions in finance and public service, including serving as managing director at Wolfensohn Fund Management and chair of the board of the Hudson River Park Trust.
A graduate of Dartmouth College who earned an MBA from Columbia Business School, Taylor has long been recognised for her involvement in finance, civic leadership and philanthropy.
The wedding is Bloomberg’s second marriage. He was previously married to Susan Brown, with whom he shares his two daughters. The couple divorced in 1993.
A Private Wedding After 26 Years
Unlike the extravagant celebrations often associated with billionaire weddings, Bloomberg and Taylor opted for a modest family gathering.
Reports indicate that approximately a dozen close relatives and friends joined the couple for a celebratory lunch following the ceremony.
The newlyweds have not publicly explained why they decided to formalise their relationship after so many years.
