John Paulson and Alina de Almeida to wed in Monaco and expect second child

Billionaire John Paulson, 70, and his fiancée Alina de Almeida, 37, are expecting their second child and plan to marry in June 2027 in Monaco. De Almeida welcomed the couple’s first child, daughter Jacqueline, in February 2025, and the pair became engaged in April 2024 after three years of dating.

The ceremony is planned for Villa La Vigie on the cape of the Monte-Carlo Beach, with events spanning three days. The villa — which has rooms running around $22,000 a night — offers an Olympic-size pool, private beach, several restaurants and a spa; Picasso used the villa’s garage as a studio and it has been visited over the years by F.

Scott Fitzgerald, Winston Churchill, Jean Cocteau and Aristotle Onassis. The reception will be held at the five-star Hotel de Paris, which features the 3-Michelin-starred Le Louis XV Alain Ducasse, a terrace, gardens and several banquet halls. Save-the-dates have not gone out yet.
