Clare Bronfman  Clare Bronfman (born 1979) is an American heiress and former equestrian. She is the youngest daughter of billionaire philanthropist and former Seagram liquor chairman Edgar Bronfman Sr. Bronfman is notable for her involvement in NXIVM, a business involved with criminal activities that lead to indictments on federal charges including sex trafficking. On April 19, 2019, Bronfman pleaded guilty to conspiracy to conceal and harbor illegal aliens for financial gain and fraudulent use of identification. She faces several months in prison when sentenced. Bronfman is the daughter of Canadian billionaire Edgar Bronfman, Sr. and Rita Webb, the daughter of an English pub owner from Essex, England. Bronfman's parents met in Marbella, Spain. The two married in 1975, two years after Edgar Bronfman's divorce from his first wife. Webb gave birth to Sara the following year, and had Clare two-and-a-half years later. Shortly after Clare's birth, Webb--who had renamed herself Georgiana--asked Edgar for a divorce. They remarried in 1983, but again divorced. After their parents' second divorce, the girls visited their father at his estates outside Charlottesville, Virginia, and in Westchester County; his home in Sun Valley; and his apartment on Fifth Avenue. However, they resided in England and in Kenya with their mother. Bronfman is of Jewish ancestry on her father's side. In December 1999, Bronfman competed in the Millstreet Indoor International Horse Show, riding her horse Enchante against 56 other entrants, competing with accomplished equestrians, such as Katie Monaghan-Prudent, Tim Stockdale, Billy Twomey, and the winner, Robert Splaine. In May 2001, Bronfman achieved her first victory in international competition, aboard Charlton (Cavalier). She won the Grand Prix at CSI-A Eindhoven (NED), claiming the £10,000 winner's purse after a narrow victory over Dermott Lennon, who finished with the fastest time, but faulted on a jump. Bronfman also participated in the World Final of the Samsung Nations Cup Series (Jumping) in Madrid on September 23, 2001, again aboard Charlton. As part of a team including Alice Debany Clero and Richard Spooner, she scored five faults in round one and none in round two, helping the team place seventh in the competition. On May 26, 2002, Bronfman won the Grand Prix in Rome (ITA), once again riding Charlton, when brought in as a last-minute replacement, owing to an injury sustained by a competing horse.
