Members Only: Palm Beach’s Hilary was previously married to billionaire 39 years older than her
They tied the knot when she was 29 and he was 68
During Members Only: Palm Beach, Hilary Musser admits that she’s on her fifth marriage, and it turns out she was previously married to billionaire Pete Musser, who was 39 years her senior.
The pair were friends at first following Pete’s separation from his first wife, with him and Hilary eventually tying the knot when she was just 29 and he was 68.
Now, I’m not saying she didn’t marry for love, but I’m sure the fact he was a billionaire did sweeten the deal.
The pair married in 2000 and welcomed a son together in 2003 before they separated in April 2005, with Hilary leaving Pete Musser in order to start a new life in Palm Beach prior to her Members Only appearance.
Divorce proceedings formally started in May 2005 after Hilary filed for divorce from Pete Musser.

However it seems the Members Only: Palm Beach cast member Hilary and her ex husband Pete remained friendly after their divorce, as she’s openly said that he’ll always be her best friend.
Their divorce came after Pete lost nearly all his fortune following the dot com crash. During the dot com boom around 2000, Peter had a large stake in Safeguard Scientifics and was worth over $1 billion.
However, after the crash he lost almost everything and had to sell a lot of his assets in order to repay his debts. Pete passed away in 2019.
