Jimmy Buffett's widow accuses financial adviser of breaching fiduciary duty in $275 mil trust battle
FILE - In this Feb. 9, 2023, photo provided by the Florida Keys News Bureau, singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett performs during a concert in Key West, Fla. (Rob O'Neal/Florida Keys News Bureau via AP) By FREIDA FRISARO Jimmy Buffett 's widow has accused her late husband's financial adviser of failing to administer the singer's multimillion-dollar trust in good faith and ignoring what she believed were her best interests for the $275 million estate. Jane Buffett on Monday asked a judge in West Palm Beach, Florida, to stop Richard Mozenter from trying to remove her as a trustee and instead sought an order removing him from overseeing the estate, according to court papers. Jimmy Buffett, who popularized beach bum soft rock and created a 'Margaritaville' empire of restaurants and resorts, died Sept. 1, 2023, at 76. His widow and Mozenter have since been embroiled in a battle over who controls the trust, with each accusing the other of mishandling funds in lawsuits filed in both California and Florida. The dispute is similar to another going on with the estate of another beloved singer, Tony Bennett. Two of the late crooner's daughters sued their brother over his handling of the family trust. Jane Buffett's filing on Monday accuses Mozenter of 'repeatedly' breaching his fiduciary duty by failing to provide her with basic information about the trust's assets and its investments while taking 'unreasonable fees and costs in the context of the services provided.' On May 30, Jane Buffett's lawyers provided Mozenter's lawyers a copy of a petition they planned to file in Los Angeles Superior Court if he did not resign as cotrustee by June 2, the filing states. Mozenter's counsel instead filed a petition June 2 in West Palm Beach, seeking Buffett's removal as cotrustee, documents show. Jane Buffett's complaint was filed June 3 in Los Angeles, where Mozenter is managing director at Gelfand, Rennert and Feldman LLC. 'Notably, Mr. Mozenter only brought this (and his other) retaliatory, baseless action after Mrs. Buffett had informed him that, absent his resignation, she would initiate litigation against him to seek his removal as co-trustee,' the complaint said. Mozenter claimed in his lawsuit that Jimmy Buffett established the trust with Mozenter as an independent trustee because he was concerned about his wife's 'ability to manage and control his assets.' The complaint filed Monday in Florida says the relationship between Jane Buffett and Mozenter is 'untenable,' and asks the judge to remove Mozenter as cotrustee. 'Jane will not play into Mr. Mozenter's hands by litigating this dispute in two separate courts across the country, which would drain the very trust money that Jimmy specifically set aside for her care,' said attorney Matt Porpora. 'Instead, Jane is bringing the fight to Florida, where she and Jimmy called home. Jane is confident she will prevail regardless of where her claims are heard, and her decision to move her claims from California to Florida illustrates that she is the only co-trustee looking to conserve — not waste — trust assets,' Porpora said. Mozenter did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment. © Copyright 2025 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

How Three Friends Built a Multimillion-Dollar Brand by Making Sunscreen Fun Again
Vacation, a pandemic-born personal-care startup, has pursued a simple strategy to make some room in its core category: putting the fun back in sunscreen. The brand design looks like the love child of Club Med and Margaritaville. Discount pop-ups on its website evoke magazine coupons from 1986, down to the dotted lines for scissors. Its SPF 30 mousse comes in a whipped-cream canister. And the handle on its new 20-ounce 'jug' detaches to be worn as a bracelet.

Margaritaville at Sea's third cruise ship will be named the Beachcomber
Margaritaville at Sea's third ship will be called the Beachcomber, the cruise line revealed Tuesday. The Beachcomber is currently sailing for Costa Cruises as the Costa Fortuna.

Margaritaville at Sea CEO Christopher Ivy said at the time that he expected the ship to debut in late 2026 or early 2027. The Beachcomber will have 15 experiences that differentiate it from the Islander and Paradise. There will also be familiar favorites, including the 5 o'Clock Somewhere bar and grill, burger joint Cheeseburger in Paradise, the Hemisphere Dancer lounge and the License to Chill bar. "We drew inspiration from nostalgic beach scenes, vintage surf art, and the carefree escapism that defines the brand," said head of design Martha Brabham. "The result is a design that feels joyful and instantly familiar." The cruise line said the Beachcomber's homeport and itineraries will be revealed later this summer.
