Lauder is the son of Evelyn Lauder and Leonard Lauder, a major art collector and philanthropist (who, by coincidence, has donated a substantial amount of work to the Met). William was the subject of tabloid headlines in 2009, when he divorced his wife, Karen, after having a child with socialite Taylor Stein.
According to Forbes, William is worth about $1.4 billion.
