Deborah Addicott, wife of Vivek Ranadivé, has been living separately from him for the past 24 years. The couple has three children, with two of them following their father’s footsteps in the fields of finance and basketball. Addicott and Ranadivé got married in 1979 and remained together for 20 years. According to their eldest son, one of the reasons for their divorce was rooted in cultural disparities.
Vivek Ranadivé, an Indian-American entrepreneur, openly admitted that while he had achieved success in many areas of his life, his marriage had not been one of them. Deborah shares a close bond with her children but has not been seen with her ex-husband since their divorce. Earlier this year, there were speculations about Ranadivé considering a bid for the NHL team Ottawa Senators, but the ownership eventually went to Michael Andlauer.
Deborah Addicott, Vivek Ranadivé’s wife, is a former nurse who met the billionaire while living with her grandmother. She is the proprietor of Destiny Coyote Ranch, described as “sweet and gentle” by her former partner. The ranch, founded in 2017, is located in Aptos Valley. The couple first met on a blind date and got married shortly after in 1979. While Vivek had been accepted to Harvard Business School, he postponed his enrollment to earn sufficient funds. They initially resided in Southern California before returning to Boston for Vivek to pursue his MBA. Their early years were marked by frequent travel between the East and West Coasts, until they ultimately settled in Menlo Park, California in 1983.
The couple went on to have three children and appeared to be leading a fulfilling life. The marriage came to an end when Deborah filed for divorce in 1999, after two decades together. Vivek expressed the immense pain caused by the divorce, believing that he had done everything right and struggling to identify where things went awry. However, both have moved forward with their lives, maintaining a positive relationship with their children. Deborah can be found on Instagram under the handle @destinyprayranch, though her account is private.
Deborah Addicott is the mother of three children with her former partner and is affectionately referred to as the “Horse Whisperer” by her eldest son, Aneel. Their first child, Annel Ranadive, was born in 1984. Aneel, who was just a teenager at the time of his parents’ divorce, maintains a strong bond with both. He frequently shares photos of his mother on Instagram and posted a picture with her earlier this year at Golden Beach, Florida. Aneel is a managing partner of Soma Capital and holds a Mathematics degree from Columbia University.
Aneel has been recognized on Forbes’ Midas Seed List and has a portfolio including Rappi, Cruise, Lendup, Embarktrucks, and Astranis, with a combined enterprise value exceeding $6 billion according to Crunchbase. When discussing his parents’ divorce, Aneel suggested that cultural differences might have been a significant factor, describing his mother as a free spirit while his father was the opposite, deeply immersed in work.
Anjali Ranadivé, the youngest child of Deborah and Vivek, was born on September 15, 1992. Anjali previously worked in the music industry before entering the realm of basketball alongside her father. A graduate of Cal-Berkeley, Anjali once collaborated with American rapper Tyga on a single and used to perform under the stage name Anjali World. However, her music career did not fully take off. Anjali has also been involved with the Monterey Bay Aquarium and the Yggdrasil Wildlife Center, and she was the recipient of the 2015 Paul Walker Ocean Leadership Award from the Monterey Bay Aquarium.
In 2022, the 30-year-old assumed the role of Assistant General Manager at the G League club Stockton Kings. Vivek Ranadivé’s lone daughter works under the guidance of Stockton Kings general manager Paul Johnson. Anjali can be found on social media under the handle “Nani,” which means “grandmother” in Hindi. She adopted this stage name due to her appreciation for the presence of elders in her life.
Andre Ranadivé, Deborah and Vivek’s second son, chose a career in the US Army after finishing high school, maintaining a relatively low public profile compared to his siblings.
