Women’s football boss must sell £7million Primrose Hill home to settle divorce bill with Bitcoin millionaire ex-husband
Diane Rosemin-Culligan, the former boss of Women's Championship football club London City Lionesses, has been ordered by Court of Appeal judges to sell her £7million home in Primrose Hill, London, to help settle a divorce settlement with her ex-husband, Bitcoin millionaire Anthony Culligan. The ruling brings to an end a lavish lifestyle the couple enjoyed, funded largely by his cryptocurrency fortune, and highlights how volatile digital assets are increasingly becoming central to high-value divorce disputes in the UK courts.
Ms Rosemin-Culligan, 65, founded London City Lionesses after the club broke away from Millwall FC, while her financier ex-husband built his wealth by turning an initial £10,000 Bitcoin investment into around £20million over five years. The Court of Appeal's decision means the couple's Primrose Hill mansion will now have to be sold as part of settling the financial fallout from their split.
In short
- Ex-football club boss must sell £7m London home after divorce ruling
- Ex-husband Anthony Culligan turned £10k Bitcoin stake into £20m
- Court of Appeal ordered the Primrose Hill property sale
Explained simply
A former football club executive has been ordered to sell her £7million Primrose Hill home to settle a divorce with her ex-husband. Diane Rosemin-Culligan, 65, founded London City Lionesses, a women's football club that emerged from Millwall. The couple had enjoyed an expensive lifestyle funded largely by her ex-husband's cryptocurrency wealth.
Anthony Culligan, her ex-husband, built his wealth through cryptocurrency investments. He turned an initial £10,000 into around £20million over five years. The couple used their substantial financial resources to purchase and maintain their Primrose Hill home.
The case highlights an emerging challenge in UK family courts: the complications that arise when couples separate and one party has accumulated significant wealth through cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. As digital assets become more common, courts are increasingly having to decide how to fairly divide them during divorce proceedings. The ruling shows how family law must adapt to this newer form of wealth and the particular difficulties it creates.
