Never too old to fall in love.
Prominent hedge funder Larry Leeds — who was the chairman of Buckingham Capital Management until 2019 — is getting married at the spry age of 93 to philanthropist and socialite Ginger Feuer, a youthful 75, on Sunday.
Leeds was married to Dalia Leeds for 60 years and Feuer was married to Myron Feuer for 45 years, but both their partners have passed away.
We’re told the four of them were close friends and used to spend vacations together.
Leeds and Feuer — who have known each other for 40 years — reconnected at a dinner party as widows in Palm Beach, Fla., and had their first date at Sistina on New York’s Upper East Side.
Feuer tells us Leeds was the perfect gentleman, walking her to her accommodations and kissing her goodnight. “There was a spark,” she says.
They have been together for a year and a half. Leeds proposed last October with the words, “I want to spend the rest of my life with you.” He tells Page Six he loves Feuer’s “red hair, vivacious character and sensuality.”
Feuer, meanwhile, says she admires Leeds for his handsome looks and intelligence.
The couple will tie the knot in front of Rabbi Joshua Davidson from Temple Emanu-El at the home of Feuer’s son and daughter-in-law, Matthew Feuer and Liz Toll Feuer, we hear.
Forty guests are expected including Apax Partners’ Alan Patricof, JP Morgan’s John Rosenwald, art collectors Robbi and Bruce Toll and Leeds’ daughters Ashley and Tracy.
Freuer has worked with Alzheimer’s Drug Discovery Foundation, American Cancer Society and City Meals on Wheels.
Leeds, the former CEO of Manhattan Industries, which launched fashion brand Perry Ellis, is also involved in charity and running a family foundation. He is now focused on the Cary Leeds Center for Tennis and Learning in the Bronx, which he founded in honor of his late son.
The couple are also active on the Palm Beach and NYC social circuit.
We wish the newlyweds all the happiness in the world. Mazel tov!
