GREENWICH, Conn. AP – Walter Noel Jr. and his wife Monica had it all: Luxurious houses on Connecticut’s wealthy coast, Palm Beach and the Hamptons, a Park Avenue pied-a-terre and, most of all, a hilltop retreat on an exclusive island in the Caribbean named after a goddess. They hobnobbed with Mick Jagger and Tommy Hilfiger, who sounded a bit jealous of their view.
The couple’s five tall, attractive daughters mostly married foreign men in high social circles, adding to an extraordinary network of international connections that along with remarkably consistent returns helped Noel expand his New York-based money management firm with billions of investments from the elite around the world.
