A Beverly Hills socialite and aUCLAdoctor are locked in a vicious $200 million divorce war — with bitter texts, hidden cash claims and clothes hurled from a mansion balcony.
When Setareh “Star” Bral allegedly served Dr. Ryan Aronin divorce papers at the school drop off on May 3, 2024, it set off a bitter court fight over the whether or not she has access to the a multi-million-dollar family trust.
The $200 million SYB Family trust is from the estate of Said Bral, Setareh’s late real estate mogul father, who is believed to have had ties to the last Shah of Iran.
Bral fled Iran shortly afterMohammad Reza Pahlaviwas deposed by the Islamic Revolution on February 11, 1979, coming toLos Angeles and building a vast empire.
When he died on April 27, 2021, his wife, Yafa, took control of the trust.
When Yafa died in September of 2023, her kids Sean and Seterah took control of the trust.
Later, in the divorce papers Seterah allegedly told her her estranged husband she had ”no income, and no access to her trust.
But Dr. Aronin claims in court documents that Setareh gave up access to the trust to hide her income and avoid having to pay him any money.
“Setareh intentionally abdicated her responsibility over the SYB Family Trust when on October 10, 2024, she produced for the first time a “Declination to Serve as Successor Co-Trustee” the papers claim.
“She willingly abdicated responsibility to administer the SYB Family Trusts, likely an attempt to distance herself from control over discretionary trust distributions,” the documents claim.
