Divorcing billionaire Harry Macklowe won’t get special treatment: judge

Billionaire developer and occasional stand-up comedian Harry Macklowe was in no joking mood Monday as a judge told him not to expect special treatment at his upcoming divorce trial.

“This trial cannot take significantly more time than any other divorce action,” Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Laura Drager told Macklowe, 79, and his estranged wife Linda, 78.

The judge noted that the trial would decide how to split the couple’s “significant assets” — estimated to be $2 billion.

But, she added, “There are a lot of other people who are waiting to be divorced and to the extent that your trial takes up court time it means there just isn’t time available for the next case.”

She set trial dates for early September.

Judge Drager said the proceedings will focus on “valuation and allocation of assets” including the ex-couple’s real estate holdings and sizable art collection.

Macklowe declined to tell a joke when leaving court, as he has in past appearances. In April the real estate magnate told a string of “Take my wife — please”-style jokes while waiting for his case to be heard by a judge.

But his usually stern-faced wife quipped that “maybe Trump will be next” after hearing the news that Anthony Scaramucci was out as White House communications director.

Linda Macklowe, a Guggenheim Foundation trustee, filed for divorce last year after learning that her husband of 58 years was hiding a French mistress in one of his apartments at 737 Park Ave.
