Miranda Kerr may be friends with her ex-husband Orlando Bloom, but there's another ex out there that she's not so friendly towards. That ex-boyfriend would be Jho Low.
Low was a high-flying businessman until his role in the massive 1MDB embezzlement scheme was uncovered. Per the Washington Post, Low is accused of stealing billions of dollars from a Malaysian government-owned development fund, called 1MDB. The scheme landed former Malaysian prime minister and 1MDB co-founder Najib Razak in prison on corruption charges (per Reuters), while Low has been on the run for his part in the plan since 2018.
His attempts to court Miranda Kerr in 2014 made headlines when, as noted by Page Six, it was revealed that the businessman had spent millions on the model. His extravagant gifts to her included a heart-shaped diamond pendant worth $4.5 million, and a pair of earrings that retailed at $1 million. If receiving jewelry from a man since accused of being the mastermind of a major scandal wasn't enough, the diamonds weren't the only gift Low gave to Kerr, whom he reportedly dated for only a year. She also received a custom-built, see-through grand piano. According to The New York Times, such a piece could cost anywhere from $170,000 to more than $1 million.
Per Page Six, Kerr wasn't the only celebrity Low was using his ill-gotten gains to get close to; the financier also gifted Leonardo DiCaprio priceless Hollywood memorabilia.
