Music executive and artists manager Scooter Braun was married to activist, Yael Cohen. But, which of the former couple is the oldest and richest?
Scooter Braun and Yael Cohen officially separated in 2022 after seven years of marriage.
The record executive filed for divorce from his wife in July 2021. The news comes after a source told Us that the twosome had parted ways earlier that month.
“They are still currently living together, but eventually Scooter will be moving out,” an insider exclusively told Us, noting that the estranged pair “are remaining amicable for the sake of the kids.”
Braun and Cohen tied the knot in July 2014 in Whistler, Canada. They welcomed their son Jagger in February 2015, their son Levi in November 2016 and their daughter, Hart, in December 2018.
After expanding their family, the businesswoman previously talked about how her date nights look with Braun.
“Sometimes they’re really exciting and we go and do something fun where we go and take a night with friends and do something that we love,” she exclusively told Us in March 2020. “And sometimes it’s literally just making dinner and watching Love Is Blind on the couch, which is equally as exciting, not gonna lie.”
At the time, Cohen highlighted the importance of focusing on one another when they had the chance.
“I think it’s just turning off the phone and being with each other, wherever that is. Sometimes that’s at home and sometimes that’s out, but being intentional and purposeful because that’s our time,” she explained.
The philanthropist discussed how she and Scooter made their relationship a priority after so many years together.
“Sometimes things are going to have more attention and sometimes things are going to have less attention, but knowing that we signed up for better or for worse and giving each other what we need in that moment. I look at everything through the lens of 20 years down the road,” she told Us. “Am I going to look back and be proud of how we responded to something, how we dealt with something, how we figured it out? I always want the answer to be ‘yes.’”
Cohen, whose social media is filled with photos of her family, also reflected on how they center themselves and their children amid their busy work days.
“We show up for each other. Nothing, and I mean nothing is more important than each other. Than being there to support and love each other,” she discussed with The Tot in 2019. “I am present when I’m present, meaning my physical presence is not enough, my mental and emotional presence is what’s important. It’s easy to think you’re in the same room so that’s enough but it’s not, kids have to feel seen and important. I always let me kids know that they are important, their thoughts are important.”
Among the few questions the majority want answers to include the former couple’s net worth and age difference. So read on for more.

Scooter Braun has cemented his name in the entertainment industry as an entrepreneur, music executive and talent manager.
He founded record labels like RBMG Records, and Schoolboy Records and managed artists like Justin Bieber, Kanye West, Ariana Grande, Demi Lovato, Carly Rae Jepsen and J Balvin.
Now, he is the sole CEO of HYBE America. After becoming the sole CEO of HYBE America, Scooter Braun is continuing to make headlines in the music industry.
In August 2023, Braun was in the news as some of his longtime clients, including Demi Lovato, Idina Menzel, and Ariana Grande, ended their years-long working relationships with the talent manager.
In midst of him losing some prominent clients, he still has some heavyweights under his label. SB Projects’ website still lists Bieber, Dan + Shay, Black Eyed Peas, Hilary Duff and many more artists as “past and present” clients.
What is Yael Cohen Braun’s net worth?
Scooter Braun’s ex-wife, Yael Cohen has an estimated current net worth of $100 million. She accrued her fortune for her works as a South African Canadian entrepreneur, philanthropist and businesswoman. She created a non-profit organisation which was later bought by Bumble, ran a parenting blog, and worked at Bumble.
After her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2009, Cohen cofounded a non-profit organization called F–k Cancer. Cohen helped make a T-shirt with the words “F–k Cancer,” which quickly received a lot of support from strangers during her mother’s battle with cancer.
“It was a war cry for her,” she told MAKERS in March 2015. “And it was unbelievable to not only see how it made her feel, but how total strangers responded to it. Hugging her and high-fiving her and opening these crazy vulnerable dialogues.”
The mother of three started her parenting blog, Motherluckers, in 2016 after the birth of her first child.
“Being a parent is hard. Really hard. As if the lack of sleep and general daily terror of screwing it all up isn’t enough — we then have judgment and suggestions from everyone who’s ever seen a child, never mind had one,” Cohen wrote in one of her essays on the website in April 2016.
She added: “Somewhere in the haze of new parenthood, you find your way. You figure out tricks, hacks and friends to help you slay the parent game.”
Motherluckers was acquired by Bumble in 2018.
It was announced in 2018 that Cohen had joined the Bumble team as a senior advisor.
“My biggest lesson was to ask for help, so often we think we have to do it ourselves in order to be successful, or that someone is going to steal our idea or that asking for help is a weakness. I think collaboration is at the core of greatness and creativity,” Cohen told Forbes in October 2018 after her transition to the new position. “Learning to create environments based on collaboration rather than the competition is one of the most important lessons I’ve learned.”
The mining heiress was born in South Africa before eventually moving with her family to be raised in Canada.
Cohen’s philanthropic endeavors earned her awards such as Canada’s Most Powerful Women, one of Vancouver’s 40 under 40 in Vancouver Magazine and being a receipt for Elle’s 2012 Genius Award.
