Millionaire Music Mogul Leaves $1.5 Million To Devoted Workers
Two devoted workers of a millionaire Park Avenue music tycoon have struck gold after the death of their former employer and friend, Alan Meltzer. After his wife dumped him, a heartbroken Meltzer left $1 million to his former chauffeur, Jean Laborde. Chamil Demiraj, Meltzer’s former Upper East Side doorman for 15 years, received $500,000 from the music mogul’s $10 million estate. Meltzer, 67, the lively former head of the New York’s Wind-Up Records and a celebrity high-stakes poker player, died on Halloween, a year after he was divorced from his wife, Diana. The cause of death is still unknown. The couple, who started Wind-Up in 1997, spent 13 years together. The split denied Meltzer’s ex at least a guaranteed 33% of his estate. But Diana said she “could care less.” “If he wants to give it to the bums, he can give it to the bums,” she said. “He can give his money to whoever he wants. We’ve divorced. The man is dead.”
