## Resource

A billionaire oil heir is facing a $400 million lawsuit from his longtime partner, Oona Sperr, who claims he broke promises after marrying someone else — and that his new wife, Althea Kress, manipulated him into abandoning their decade-long financial arrangement. Sperr says she sacrificed her career to manage their lives, expecting lifelong support — but now faces a drastically缩水 payout and strict NDAs. She’s also suing Kress for interfering with their contract and allegedly controlling Bass’s finances as his health declined. The only clue Sperr got about the marriage? A cryptic email subject line: “news.” Bass’s team remains silent — and this high-stakes drama is just getting started.
