O'Leary Urges Couples to Maintain Financial Independence

Kevin O'Leary says he "forbids" couples to merge finances, warning lacking your own identity could spell disaster in event of divorce or death of spouse.

O'Leary says you must maintain your own credit rating, financial identity, accounts and investments for your "own survival."

O'Leary forces prenuptial and cohabitation agreements in his own family, wanting "financial due diligence" on partners.

O'Leary argues prenups help address unequal finances and force important financial questions before marriage.

O'Leary has urged keeping investment accounts, ETFs, stocks and bonds in your own name, saying "no need to merge" with partner.
