A CHEATING wife who got £90million in a divorce is now taking on her “gold-digger” ex-lover over a £20million claim.
Mandy Gray and Hamish Hurley were in a relationship for six years – during which they acquired a villa in Italy and four supercars.
The pair are fighting over who owns these luxury items, and company shares bought while they were together.
The collection of cars are said to be worth a few million pounds, the High Court heard this week.
Miss Gray claims she is the only owner of all the assets but Mr Hurley argues they both own them.
The 50-year-old’s lawyer said she paid for all the items and never intended them to be gifts to Mr Hurley, 46.
She was previously married to Randy Work, an American financier, but the marriage broke down after she had an affair with their personal physiotherapist.
A High Court hearing in 2015 heard the pair, who had two kids together, had an £180million fortune when their 18-year marriage came to an end in 2013.
Mr Work was forced to give Miss Gray half of the fortune after it was heard she gave up her career to move with him to Tokyo.
This week, in her second High Court fight, it was heard Miss Gray met Mr Hurley at an exclusive private member’s health club in Chelsea.
‘GOLD-DIGGER’
The Daily Mail reports Jonathan Cohen QC, for Miss Gray, said Mr Hurley spent £7million of her money on a failed business venture, adding: “On Miss Gray’s case, she was no more than Hurley’s vehicle for his enrichment and he was the archetypal gold-digger, par excellence.”
Mr Hurley was also accused of abusing Miss Gray emotionally and physically – which he denies.
Mr Cohen added: “As a result of his domineering conduct, and by his design, a number of very valuable assets, all bought with Gray’s money – for he had none – are presently registered in whole or part in Hurley’s name or held by companies which he controls.”
However Mr Gray’s representative, James Bailey QC, told the court the pair had been in an “intense, intimate, loving, consensual and collaborative”.

The High Court heard they had exchanged 40,000 social media messages when they were together, with Miss Gray “providing the funds for their joint life together – building for their future”.
Mr Bailey added: “Now she has changed her mind about Hamish, she wants it all back.”
The hearing on Thursday was adjourned to allow more time for Mr Hurley to prepare his case.
