Millionaire Cheats On Wife, Then Bans Her From Their Country Club And Puts Her Broke Status On Blast To Their Friends

Unfortunately she isn’t the first wealthy wife to be treated this way and we’re sure she won’t be the last.


According to NY Post reports: Sheri Astrachan slapped her estranged real-estate-exec hubby, Matthew, with a $20 million defamation suit after he allegedly cut off her access to the tony Old Westbury Golf & Country Club and various credit cards.


The move triggered a golf-club rule that Sheri’s name — and even the amount of her debt — be listed in its public places, including in its men’s and women’s locker rooms, “proclaiming for all to see that she had not paid her bills to the club,” says the spurned wife’s Manhattan Supreme Court suit.
“This has had the intended effect of falsely making it appear to the Old Westbury Club and its constituent members, who are also neighbors and friends of [Sheri], that [she] is without the economic resources and assets to maintain pay for membership privileges,” according to court papers filed by her lawyer father, Jeffrey L. Rosenberg.


Sheri, 42, says her 18-year marriage to Matthew, 49, a millionaire and JLL vice president, imploded after she and her daughters found out that he was two-timing her with “one or more sales girls in New York City shops,” according to the suit.


She promptly kicked him out of their $4.75 million home, the suit says.

Sheri say Matthew’s tactic — stopping the payment of her dues to the club and cutting off her access to credit cards — was waging “economic and emotional warfare” on the family, according to the suit.


She argues in the suit that she deserves to maintain the level of luxury she enjoyed while happily married.


She lists the former couple’s extravagances, including a $150,000 Maserati, $100,000 in yearly vacations, the Old Westbury home, golf-club membership, $150,000 for a summer rental in the Hamptons, three housekeepers and nannies, and leases on an S550 Mercedes and Cadillac Escalade.


Matthew Astrachan, a commercial real-estate broker at JLL, previously worked for Cushman & Wakefield and rakes in $4 million a year.

His marquee-name clients include Oppenheimer & Co., Calvin Klein, AXA Financial and the Discovery Channel.


Matthew’s lawyer, Steven Schlesinger, told The Post, “We don’t comment on frivolous litigation except to say that we intend to move to have the lawyer sanctioned.”


The couple has three daughters. Matthew filed for divorce in Nassau County in 2013. The litigation is still pending.
