Woman 'looked gift horse in the mouth' by rejecting £300m divorce settlement, judge suggests The comments came in a hearing at the High Court on Tuesday in which Mrs Young's lawyer outlined how hard it was to pin down the fortune which - it is claimed - was hidden by her estranged husband. Rex Howling QC was summarising Mrs Young's case after a trial in the Family Division of the High Court in London which started on October 31. The judge is being asked to decide how much Mr Young is worth. Mrs Young says Mr Young is worth "a few billion at least" and claims that "there was a vast fortune hidden." She says she is a victim of "fraud" because Mr Young has manipulated his affairs so as to do her down. "This is one of those cases ... which is like trying to locate a submarine without sonar," Mr Howling told the judge. (But) we have had periscope sightings during the course of these proceedings. He said there was a "landslide of mud" heading towards Mr Young, adding: "Our case is very simple ... There has been non-disclosure by Mr Young. Mr Howling went on: "We take off one layer of the onion skin. We find another underneath. He said the judge would have to "piece together" a picture of Mr Young. "He was and continues to be a man who has access to considerable sums of money," said Mr Howling. And not just the odd million or two. He added: "What we see sight of is inconsistent with a penniless bankrupt."
