Billionaire’s Ex-Wife Says He Sprayed ‘Fart’ Smell, Put Dead Fish In Mansion Vents For Revenge

Money can buy a lot of things, but not maturity, apparently.

The Daily Mail reports that hedge fund manager Bill Gross, a former investment banker worth an estimated $2.5 billion, has been accused of exacting disgusting revenge against his ex-wife Sue after he lost their home in their recent divorce.

Sue claims that Bill sprayed the $36 million Laguna Beach compound with gag-inducing smells and left all sorts of gross items throughout the house for her to discover. In documents obtained by the New York Post, Sue describes finding the home in "utter chaos and disrepair" after her ex turned over the keys. She also calls Bill a "cruel, vengeful, and vindictive man with practically limitless financial resources," the Blast reports.

So what exactly did Bill do to warrant those harsh allegations? Well, if you want to see the definition of petty, check this out…

Bill and Sue Gross finalized their divorce last October.

The pair had been married 32 years prior to their split and have a son named Nick together.

Bill wasn't too happy that Sue got the house, apparently.

Sue claims that Bill doused the home with "fart" and "puke" sprays after he moved out, the bottles of which she later found in the garbage.

"The houseplants smelled foul and had to be replaced," Sue wrote in a declaration submitted in hopes of obtaining a restraining order against Bill.

"A one-of-a-kind art installation piece had been dismantled and removed," she added. "The remote controls for the televisions, drapes and other technology were all missing."

"There were balls of human hair in the drawers," Gross also alleged. "I even found dead fish and dirt stuffed into the air vents."

Sue's restraining order against her ex was recently granted in part due to these disgusting antics, and also because Bill allegedly spent $1 million to have an "army of spies" conduct "nonstop monitoring" of Sue and her family during their drawn-out divorce proceedings. Yikes.

Bill's actions are drawing a surprisingly mixed bag of reviews.

At least one of their industry peers weighed in on the matter, and he's not at all sympathetic.

Others are enjoying comparing the now-infamous billionaire to fictional baddies.

And one reporter who's covering the story is delighted to have realized her dream of writing about farts for a well-known newspaper.

On the flip side, some people think the story is just plain sad.

The above tweet has to be the most spot-on response to the ordeal, though.

Now, while Bill has set a new bar for billionaire pettiness, he didn't really nail the whole "revenge" thing. Making a house smell bad? What is this, amateur hour?

Some of the greatest pranks in the history of the internet include the following:

If you've ever had a roommate with long hair, you already know the story behind this genuinely nauseating gag.

Covering a target's car in plastic wrap is a favorite of high schoolers everywhere.

This is absolutely barbaric — and totally brilliant.

Is this prank mean? Yes. Did the target (probably) have it coming? Also yes.

Imagine someone telling you about the Red Wedding before you got to watch it go down. There's no coming back from that.

And then there's this legend who brilliantly hid a note in the one place a woman would never find it: the bottom of the toilet lid.

In conclusion: Take notes, Bill.
