“But my wife is Spanish and she gave me about seven years here, so we’re going to spend some years in Madrid with her family,” Richard continued, adding that he will be returning to America.

“My wife grew up in a big Spanish family, like a big Italian family, and her grandmother was kind of the glue that held that all together,” Richard shared. “And the grandmother passed away [about] two years ago, so my wife, I can see her morphing into the new grandmother of this extended family. So she’s already planning for 35 people for Sunday lunches.”
In October, the New York Post reported that Richard sold his home in Connecticut for $10.75 million.
