A court in Seoul, South Korea ordered Smilegate founder Hye Bin to transfer 35% of his shares to his wife, worth over 2 trillion won. Kwon Ji Keung, 52, holds a controlling interest in Smilegate, one of Korea's largest private gaming companies, which developed the hit games “Crossing Fire” and “The Lost Ark.” According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, his fortune is around $3 billion. According to local media reports, his wife tried to obtain half of the company's 100% shares. Both parties can challenge the ruling. The property division amount this time exceeded the 944 billion won judgment in SK Group Chairman Choi Tae-won's divorce case, making it probably the most expensive divorce case in Korean history.
