Beth Shak Sued By Ex-Husband Over Shoe Collection

Posted: June 25, 2012

the lady with 1000 shoes

Beth Shak is a professional poker player. Due to her huge collection of high heels, she’s also known as “the lady with a thousand shoes.” But her nickname may soon change. The poker player’s ex-husband, Daniel Shak, has filed a lawsuit over the huge shoe collection, claiming that Beth kept her high heels a secret during the split.

Daniel now wants 35% of his wife’s shoes.

Shak, a wealthy hedge fund manager, said that he was unaware of his wife’s extensive collection of high heels during their marriage. Shak claims that his wife kept the collection hidden in their $7.5 million Fifth Avenue apartment.

When the two separated three years ago, Shak says that his wife never mentioned he shoe collection, which according to the Daily Mail, is worth more than $1 million.

Philly.com reports that Beth has shared her shoe collection with various media outlets like MTV’s Cribs and the documentary God Save My Shoes. Daniel, however, claims that he did not find out about the collection, which includes 700 pairs of Louboutins, until last Summer.

Beth said:

“He is saying he didn’t know the closet in our master bedroom existed…. How could I possibly hide these things? It would be ludicrous, it would be insane.”

Daniel said:

“I take offense at her statement to other media outlets where she says I am claiming to have no knowledge of her master bathroom closet.”

Here’s a video of Beth Shak on Closet Confessionals.

The Daily Mail reports that Shak’s collection of shoes is worth an estimated $1 million. Shak says that she purchased her shoes from her poker winnings but previous estimates place Shak’s earnings at under $1 million.

Shak said:

“When I have poker winnings the first thing I do is treat myself to a pair of shoes. I’ve done well with my poker. I don’t have complaints.”

Do you think Daniel Shak is entitled to a portion of his wife’s shoe collection?

    Can you say obsessive/compulsive?

  4. who really cares, and why is this newsworthy?

  5. Is he a closet high heel wearer on the weekends? He's nuts. If they are already divorced, let it go. What a stupid thing to be so pissed off about.

    That guy needs to get a job! Of course he was aware of those shoes. He's just being bitter and petty. What a loser.

  8. pardon the pun, but if the shoe was on the other foot, you know darned well she would be after him. if he had a collection of expensive suits or something else like that, you know that as a woman she would enjoy nothing more than to get her greedy grubby hands on them. it's about time the tables were turned and woman got what is coming to them.

    It's hard to have sympathy for either of them. If only my largest problem were a secret room in my mansion filed with shoes.

    Good grief. Those shoes are used and not sellable for a million bucks. Divorce brings out the worst in people. They end up fighting over something stupid just like this and the lawyers get all the money in the end.
