A court has ruled that Diane Rosemin-Culligan, the former chairwoman of the London City Lionesses, must sell her £7 million London home to satisfy a divorce settlement with her ex-husband, Bitcoin investor Anthony Culligan. The ruling from the Court of Appeal reverses an earlier decision by a High Court judge who had allowed Rosemin-Culligan to keep the Primrose Hill property.

The couple, both in their 60s, had been married for approximately four decades before their separation. In 2025, the High Court ordered the division of their combined assets, valued at around £27 million, on an equal basis. While Rosemin-Culligan was initially permitted to retain ownership of the home, Anthony Culligan contested the decision, arguing it undervalued his share given that much of his wealth was tied up in Bitcoin shares.

Culligan, who is regarded as a Bitcoin millionaire, invested £10,000 in the cryptocurrency in 2012. By 2017, his investment had reportedly increased in value to approximately £20 million, significantly contributing to the couple’s joint assets. Rosemin-Culligan is also known for founding the London City Lionesses, a women’s football club, which she subsequently sold to a U.S.-based businesswoman.

The Court of Appeal sided with Anthony Culligan, determining that Rosemin-Culligan must sell the Primrose Hill residence. Under the new ruling, she is required to transfer 40.4 percent of the sale proceeds to her former husband, reflecting his equitable claim on the asset.

The decision marks a notable outcome in the division of wealth accrued through cryptocurrency investments, underscoring the complexities courts face in adjudicating asset distribution where digital currencies are involved.
