IKOS’s Ambrosiadou to Appear at Hedge Fund Gala Amid Spy Claims

IKOS Asset Management Ltd.’s Elena Ambrosiadou has a knack for attracting attention.

Once labeled the U.K.’s highest-paid woman, Ambrosiadou has spent three weeks fending off spying allegations and claims by her estranged husband that he still owns a stake in the $2.5 billion hedge fund. She’ll be hard to miss tonight at one of London’s biggest annual charity events: she has paid for two tables at the Absolute Return for Kids dinner, according to her spokesman. ARK says tables cost a minimum of 100,000 pounds ($164,070) each. She’s also agreed to auction off a week aboard her 289-foot Maltese Falcon, which she bought in 2009 for about $120 million. The yacht, complete with gym and masseuse, typically rents for as much as 378,000 euros ($551,000) a week, according to chartering firm Nigel Burgess Ltd.
