Rolling Stone Founder and Publisher Sells His Stake in UWS Townhouse to Ex
The New York Observer reports that Rolling Stone founder and publisher Jann Wenner has sold his stake in the Upper West Side townhouse he once shared with his estranged wife, Jane Wenner. Mr. Wenner recently transferred sole ownership of the single-family dwelling at 37 West 70th Street (near Central Park West) to Ms. Wenner for $4 million, the latest development in a very long saga between the estranged spouses. The former Mr. and Mrs. Wenner separated in 1995, after 28 years of marriage and three children, and Mr. Wenner now lives with partner Matt Nye, a former model and clothing designer 19 years his junior. To add to the sticky situation, Mr. Wenner and Ms. Wenner have never actually divorced, and Jane remains a partner in the Wenner Media empire, which includes Rolling Stone, Men’s Journal, and Us Weekly. Nye and Wenner currently live in their own townhouse just down the street from the 70th Street pad on West 74th Street, and alternate their time between the Upper West Side and the three other Wenner homes throughout the country. They have three children of their own (via a surrogate).
