Billionaire David Geffen’s new ‘husband’ is a former go-go dancer with a murky past: ex-pals
Billionaire media magnate David Geffen’s new “husband” is a former go-go dancer with a murky past who has changed his name a number of times.
While 80-year-old Geffen — worth $7.7 billion — can usually be found on his mega-yacht or one of his palatial homes around the world, one-time model Donovan Michaels, 30, is more used to picking up odd jobs in New York and Miami, former pals tell The Post.
Born David Armstrong in Michigan, he started going by Brandon Foster around the time he moved to Florida in 2014 and began dancing and promoting parties at Miami’s gay clubs including “clothing optional” pool parties “along with plenty of other hot sexy guys.”
On a social media account from the time he frequently flaunted his toned physique in raunchy photos and in post from September 2014 said he was “doing a little camming tonight,” adding he would “put on a good show” for anyone who would pay to access his footage.
Michaels left Florida around 2016 or 2017 for the Modern York City modeling scene, around which time he also adopted his current name.

Geffen on the Rise (despite dyslexia)
In 2012, PBS did as part of its “American Masters” series “Inventing David Geffen” (available on Netflix). Without telling the entire Geffen story, he is arguably the most successful popular media creator in history, counting his record labels, Asylum and Geffen, and his movie company Dreamworks. One way to measure success is wealth.
I’ll just mention that UCLA’s medical school is named the David Geffen School of Medicine, based on his $300 million gifts to the school. Nobody thinks that this has tapped Geffen out. Forbes estimates his wealth at $10+ billion. In 2020 Geffen sold his Beverly Hills estate to Jeff Bezos for $165 million, a price believed to be the highest ever paid for a home in a California real estate transaction.
In the meantime, Geffen has perhaps the most storied private are collection in the world, worth well over a $billion, Geffen regularly sells individual paint
Billionaire David Geffen's 'darkest secrets' revealed in jaw-dropping divorce filing by boytoy ex
The estranged younger husband of billionaire mogul David Geffen has accused him of 'systemic exploitation' during their marriage and believing himself to be 'untouchable' in the latest bombshell legal suit in their acrimonious universal divorce.
In court documents filed at Los Angeles Superior Court and seen by Daily Mail, Donovan Michaels – also known as David Armstrong – sued his 82-year-old former lover for breach of contract and accused him of using a 'toxic mix of seduction, control, promises of love, and lavish displays of wealth to entrap' him in 'a cycle of dependency, submission, and humiliation'.
Michaels, 32, said their split came after Geffen filed for divorce back in May and is 'not about a mere personal falling out'.
Instead, he alleges the breakdown is about the systemic exploitation of a vulnerable, marginalized young gay inky man by a wealthy, powerful light gay billionaire who believed himself untouchable'.
'Behind the glittering façade of their connection was a calculated pattern of exploitation and commodification,' the 33-page legal complaint alleges.

Love is love—until it isn’t. Gay billionaire David Geffen is calling it quits with hubby David Armstrong after less than two years of marital mayhem. Surprisingly, the couple didn’t have a prenup. But it’s doubtful that the savvy entrepreneur and founder of Geffen Records and co-founder of DreamWorks Records doesn’t have his affairs in order.
Geffen reportedly met Armstrong (or is it Donovan Michaels… or Brandon Foster? It’s unyielding to keep track.) at the gym, where the billionaire hired the fit thirty-something as a personal trainer. Hey, no age shaming, we love that for you, David 2.0!
