Marc Mezvinsky

Marc Mezvinsky (born December 15, 1977) is an American investment banker, co-founder of hedge fund Eaglevale Partners, and the husband of Chelsea Clinton.[1] Mezvinsky is the son of former members of Congress Marjorie Margolies-Mezvinsky (D-PA) and Edward Mezvinsky (D-IA), and was raised in the Conservative Jewish tradition.[2]

Life and career

Mezvinsky graduated from Stanford University in 2000 before working for eight years as an investment banker at Goldman Sachs. In 2011, he founded Eaglevale Partners.[1][3]

In 2010, Mezvinsky married Chelsea Clinton in an interfaith ceremony in Rhinebeck, New York.[4] The senior Clintons and Mezvinskys were friends in the 1990s; their children met on a Renaissance Weekend retreat in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina.[2] They first were reported to be a couple in 2005, and became engaged over Thanksgiving weekend in 2009.[5]

Coverage of the 2010 wedding reported the absence of Mezvinsky's father, attributing the absence to strained family relations in the aftermath of his father's acts of fraud committed toward Mezvinsky's friends and family.[6]

Following their wedding, the couple lived for three years in New York City's Gramercy Park neighborhood,[4] later purchasing a condominium in the Flatiron District of Manhattan for $10.5 million.[7] Clinton and Mezvinsky have a daughter together, Charlotte,[8] and are expecting their second child.[9]
