A couple of years ago, we reported a rumor based on a source who said billionaire hedge fund manager Steven Cohen had a very large pig living in his 35,000-square-foot Connecticut mansion.
Page Six is now reporting that Cohen did in fact have a large domesticated swine named Romeo living in his home.
The Cohens reportedly took in Romeo as a piglet. The pig even had his own room in the mansion.
Romeo apparently grew too big, and they had to find him a new home. According to the New York Post, he has been sent to live on a vegan farm in Florida (phew!).
Our source said the pig had a tattoo on his face and that he appeared to be a walking piece of art. That's not entirely clear though.
Cohen is a huge art collector. His expansive collection includes pieces by Monet, Picasso, Jasper Johns, Jeff Koons, Damien Hirst, Willem de Kooning, Francis Bacon, and Andy Warhol, according to a 2010 Vanity Fair profile. He recently purchased Alberto Giacometti's 1947 masterpiece "Man Pointing" for $141.3 million at Christie's.
Cohen is the founder of SAC Capital, which is now called Point72 Asset Management after SAC pleaded guilty to insider-trading charges in November 2013 and agreed to pay a $1.8 billion settlement. Point72 Asset Management operates as a "family office" hedge fund that manages Cohen's wealth and money of its employees, which comes to about $11 billion in assets.
