Smitten CEO spent $468,000 on girlfriend, sues her to recover money after breakup

The judge dismissed the man's claim that the sums were given to the woman as loans.

After their year-long relationship ended, listed company CEO Chander Agarwal sued his ex-girlfriend to recover $468,090 he had spent on her. The High Court ruled that most of the money was gifts, not loans. The judge found no evidence suggesting Agarwal's ex-girlfriend, Felicia Lee, requested any of the disputed sums as loans or agreed to repay him.

Agarwal, CEO of TCI Express, had given Lee lavish gifts and covered her expenses during their relationship, including credit card charges, overseas trips, and feng shui services. Despite his claims, no written agreement existed, and the judge dismissed Agarwal's lawsuit.
