Welch's income and assets came under scrutiny during his divorce from his second wife, Jane, in 2001, after she included details in divorce papers of what she said he received as benefits from GE. Welch's contracts with GE were subsequently investigated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.[24][25] The retention package, worth $2.5 million, was agreed upon by Welch and GE in 1996 and promised him continued access after his retirement to benefits he received as CEO including an apartment in New York, baseball tickets and the use of a private jet and chauffeured car.[24][26] The benefits were agreed upon in lieu of a more traditional stock package because, according to Welch, he did not want more money, preferring instead to retain the lifestyle he had enjoyed as CEO once he retired. According to an interview with Welch in 2009, the agreement was filed with the SEC.
