Just days before the news of her impending divorce broke, Ivy Getty was seen living her best life at a lavish party surrounded by celebrity friends. The billionaire heiress attended Save Venice’s annual Un Ballo in Maschera party at the Plaza Hotel in NYC, sponsored by Oscar de la Renta and The Gritti Palace. She was captured in a stunning low-cut, nude and crystal Oscar de la Renta gown, alongside fellow attendees such as Emily Ratajkowski and Nicky Hilton. The event, which raised over $1.2 million for the preservation of historic art and architecture, was also graced by the presence of other notable guests like Dorothy Wang, Huma Abedin, and Jenna Lyons.
Despite the glamorous appearance at the party, it is revealed that Ivy Getty had filed for divorce from her husband of three years, Tobias Engel, about four months prior. The court docket showed that the filing was submitted by Getty’s attorney in January. The divorce is marked as “contested,” indicating that the couple did not reach a settlement with a mediator beforehand. However, sources have assured that Getty’s wealth will be protected due to the existence of a prenuptial agreement. As a member of the Getty family, Ivy is cautious about legal matters, especially considering her family’s estimated net worth of $5.4 billion in 2015.
Ivy Getty is known for her extravagant lifestyle, showcased frequently on social media through her travels and attendance at fabulous parties. Apart from being a socialite, Getty is also signed to Ford Models, which potentially adds to her income. While her now-estranged husband, Tobias Engel, was prominently featured on her Instagram during their lavish November 2021 wedding in San Francisco, he has noticeably disappeared from her feed in recent times. The guest list for their wedding included notable figures such as California Gov. Gavin Newsom, San Francisco Mayor London Breed, and designer Wes Gordon.
The public may have seen Ivy Getty portraying a glamorous and carefree image at the lavish party, but behind the scenes, her personal life was going through a significant change. Despite the challenges of her impending divorce, Getty continues to maintain her socialite lifestyle and professional endeavors, showcasing a strong and resilient attitude in the face of personal adversity.
