Black Widow hired a hitman because divorce money just wasn't enough

When millionaire Adam Anhang asked his wife Aurea Vazquez Rijos for a divorce, she was in line to receive hundreds of thousands of pounds – but that just wasn’t enough for her

It was clear from a young age that Adam Anhang had business in his blood.Born in Winnipeg, Canada, Adam even showed up on his first day of kindergarten with a briefcase so he could be just like his attorney dad, Abraham.

He was destined to make his whole family proud.

Adam was ambitious throughout his education. He became editor of the student paper at his university, as well as a competitive member of the fencing team.

After studying business, he went into real estate and set up his own consultancy business. He focused on revitalising run-down neighbourhoods and ended up investing in properties on the Caribbean island of Puerto Rico, becoming part-owner of a holiday resort.

Adam built up his wealth to around $24million (£18million). But money didn’t change him, and what made Adam really special was his generosity. Far from building his success on being ruthless, Adam was the person people went to for advice.

He helped struggling businesses and was constantly there for his friends. Above all, he always did the right thing.

His family suspect that’s how he ended up getting married to Aurea Vazquez Rijos.

Adam, 32, met the glamorous Aurea shortly after arriving in Puerto Rico. She was a former Miss Puerto Rico Petite. They started dating and moved in together in late 2004.

It’s reported that Aurea told Adam she was pregnant and, coming from a devout Catholic family, marriage was the only option.

So, in March 2005, the couple wed in a small ceremony, but Adam didn’t tell most of his friends or his family. Did he know they wouldn’t approve of the speed of their marriage?
