In 2008, he ran in a charity event for the British Red Cross, and added the comment along a photo of a scar on his leg: ‘LOOK AT MY LEG! It doesn’t look much better now and I am running a marathon (half). I know that you are all gasping at this but I am doing it for charity… a good charity. Please give generously. Your support really does mean a lot to me. Wish me luck. Alex.’

In 2008 he also ran in a marathon for La Vida, an Investment Organization in support of Latin American communities.

Relationships: Alice Eve

The only publicly known relationship of Alex is with actress Alice Eve.

The British actress is known for her roles in several successful films, such as the comedy “She’s Out of My League” and “Sex and the City 2” both in 2010, “Star Trek Into Darkness” in 2011, and “Men in Black 3” in 2012.

Alex and Alice met in their teens during the time they both attended Westminster School. They started a romantic relationship, but it was short lived as they parted ways to attend different universities after their matriculation.

The pair was separated for more than a decade, and although there’s no information about Alex’s romantic partners during those years, it’s known that Alice dated actors Rufus Sewel and Rafe Spall, and was romantically involved with writer Adam O’Riordan, who she met while attending St Catherine’s College, Oxford.

The relationship lasted three years but ended in 2012 for unknown reasons. In 2013 Alice talked to Daily Express about her problems finding a boyfriend partly due to her tidy personality: ‘I can’t get into an unmade bed; I can’t sleep with shoes anywhere near me – they have to be in a cupboard – and I absolutely hate a messy car’.

In December 2013 she was spotted dining with Chris Evan, her co-star in the romantic film “Before We Go”, arising rumors of a possible romantic relationship. However, neither of them confirmed it.

Engagement and Wedding: 2014

After years of separation, Eve and Alex met again at the start of 2014, and rekindled their relationship. Eve declared to Hello!: ‘We fell in love when we were at school.

Then life took its course and we both went out and pursued our careers. I always adored him and we were able to reconnect at this time in our lives and magically fell back in love.’

In the same interview, Alex said that Alice was the love of his life: ‘I didn’t expect it to happen but somehow it always seemed we were destined to be together. When we got back together, it was like we had never been apart. I feel so lucky to have her back. I loved her from the moment I met her’.

Alex maintained a good relationship with Alice’s family, declaring that they were always kind to him in his teens.

During a family trip to Ibiza in July 2014, when Alice was on a short break from shooting the film “Criminal”, Alex asked Alice’s father – actor Trevor Eve – for his blessing, and the same day he proposed to Alice during a private romantic dinner – the wedding ceremony was held at Brompton Oratory in South Kensington, London, on 31 December 2014. Alice arrived at the church with her father: ‘All the way down Brompton Road, people were beeping and waving because we were in a white cab’.

British designer Alice Temperley was in charge of designing Eve’s beautiful wedding dress: ‘She has a real talent for making a bride feel the most amazing’ said Eve.

While walking to the ceremony, Eve was spotted wearing a white robe over her dress, combined with an all-white rose bouquet and stilettos. Alex wore a simple but elegant black flux with a white rose. Alice described the touching moment in which the ceremony started and she saw her groom waiting for her: ‘I was trying not to cry but by the time my blurry eyesight got him in full view, I couldn’t help it’. The wedding was attended by their families, along with celebrities such as the model Twiggy and millionaire Charles Saatchi and other 150 guests. The reception was held at the presidential suite of the Mandarin Oriental. The newlywed couple’s honeymoon was in Africa.

At the time of their marriage the couple lived in separated countries: Alex lived in London, Alice in Los Angeles, pursuing her career as a professional actress in Hollywood.

Divorce – 2017

In an effort to spend more time with his wife, Alex took the decision to quit his job at Goldman Sachs in 2016, moving in with Alice in the US. However, the couple’s attempts to maintain their relationship were futile, as Alice was reportedly seen in November 2016 (Daily Mail) without her wedding ring, which started rumors of separation. In 2017 they officially filed for divorce.

Net Worth

Reportedly, an average Goldman Sachs’ employee earned a minimum salary of over $50,000 annually.

However, it’s safe to assume Alex Cowper-Smith’s salary was higher than that considering he had a high position in the company. Largely as a result of his work in the company, Alex’s net worth is estimated at over $500,000, as of early 2020. Reputedly, Alice’s net worth is over $6 million.

Appearance

Alex Cowper-Smith has blond hair and brown eyes. He’s a man of white ethnicity, who is approximately 5ft 7ins (1.70m) tall. He has a slender build and often wears suits, maintaining a professional appearance.

Interesting Facts

Despite having studied in the same school, Alex and his ex-wife Alice chose very different career paths.

When the media announced their engagement in 2014, the media referred to Alex as Alice’s ‘school sweetheart’.

Alex married Alice Eve in the same church she was baptized in as a child.

Alice’s nickname for Alex during high school was “Cowper” – she kept calling him that as adults.

Alex and Eve’s wedding ceremony’s flowers arrangements were made of gypsophila, in honor to Alice’s late grandmother.

After his divorce Alex went back to UK, where he still resides.

Alex Cowper-Smith has an Instagram account, but he hasn’t posted any photos yet.

How rich is Albert DePrisco? Net Worth, Wife Lisa Niemi, Wiki

Published

on

Introduction

Not all people who are born in rich families are instantly famous. Some of them gain fame through marriage with someone of lesser financial status, albeit more well-known to the general public. This is the case of Albert DePrisco, a millionaire and a businessman who reached the headlines only after marrying Patrick Swayze’s ex-wife. Who is Albert DePrisco and how rich is he really?

Early life and Education

DePrisco was born on 30 August 1955 in an undisclosed city in the USA, most likely in Massachusetts.

His parents are Maria DePrisco and Francis DePrisco, and he has a sister named Deirdre E. DePrisco. His family was rather wealthy and very business-oriented, and DePrisco was influenced by them to become noted amongst entrepreneurs. Except for this little information, nothing is known about his education and childhood life.

Career

DePrisco is the owner of one of the biggest jewelry shops in the world, called A. M. DePrisco Wellesley. The shop was owned by his parents, but he bought it from them in 1995, and worked independently for 10 years.

In 2005 the store was moved to Washington Street located in Wellesley, Massachusetts US. The brand specializes in making diamond and other kinds of expensive jewelry and has opened another store in Downtown Boston, Massachusetts, as well as one on Cape Cod in Osterville, Massachusetts.

Marriage to Lisa Niemi

DePrisco first made headlines in 2011, when he started dating Lisa Niemi, an actress and former wife of popukar actor Patrick Swayze. Lisa Niemi was born on 26 May 1956 in Houston, Texas USA, and is known through her numerous appearances in movies alongside Swayze.

They performed together in “Steel Dawn”, “Urban Cowboy” and “Grandview, USA”, but the most famous title is “One Last Dance”. The couple married in 1975 and remained in marriage until Swayze died in 2009. DePrisco was said to be the good friend of the couple, who stayed by Niemi’s side after her husband died.

They started dating not long time after Swayze’s passing, and DePrisco proposed to Niemi on 28th December 2013, and the couple tied the knot on 25th May 2014 in an intimate ceremony at The Mar-a-Lago Club, located in Palm Beach, Florida, one of the biggest and most expensive resorts in Palm Beach that was built in the 1920s.

Despite being held on such a luxurious estate, the wedding was rather private, held only for the family and closes friends of the couple. Niemi’s wedding ring is an expensive cushion-cut diamond eternity band, and she also owns a second band that matches the one DePrisco has. Their wedding dance was choreographed by Deirdre, De Prisco’s sister, who works as a professional ballroom dancer. The bride was apparently stunning in a long, white gown, while De Prisco wore a classic black and white suit.

As both were in their late fifties when they married, the couple doesn’t have kids.

Niemi also didn’t have any children with Swayze. It is said that she was pregnant when she married her first husband, but had a miscarriage, after which she was told she couldn’t have any children.

Even though she remarried, Niemi still often posts pictures on her Instagram profile where she remembers her late first husband. When asked about this, she once said: ‘I have to say, that the love I have for Patrick was never in conflict or competition with my feelings for Albert.’ She also stated that she thinks Swayze would be happy that she remarried, and that the man she chose to marry is DePrisco.

Personal Life

Despite being a millionaire, DePrisco always did a good job of keeping most of his life private. He is the face of “Children’s Trust of Massachusetts”, the organization that is working on stopping child abuse in Massachusetts, and is their proud sponsor. “Children’s Trust of Massachusetts” works through a huge network that consists of more than 100 innovative and creative community foundations that are trying to help children in need. In 2017, DePrisco donated a piece of his jewelry to the silent auction that was held at the annual Children’s Trust Gala.

Another foundation that DePrisco supports is “Make-A-Wish Foundation Massachusetts”, as well as their Rhode Island’s Diamond Raffle that is always featured at the fundraising gala. In 2015 DePrisco donated a pair of Tahitian diamond and pearl earrings, which sold out at around $15,000. All the proceeds of the sale were given to the “Make-A-Wish Foundation”.

DePrisco isn’t active on any social media, while his wife Lisa Niemi has an Instagram account.

Net Worth

DePrisco makes most of his earnings through his jewelry shop that he’s owned for decades. As of April 2020, DePrisco’s net worth is estimated at around $40 million. On the other hand, his wife has a net worth of around $1 million.

Physical characteristics

DePrisco’s exact measurements haven’t been disclosed, but judging from the pictures we can see that he stands at an average height for a man, with a weight that is a bit over the average for his height. He has light blue eyes and blond hair that has now turned to gray.
