A ‘wellness guru’ has been ordered to pay his wealthy heiress ex £3,862,900 and hand back her mother’s £350,000 Ferrari after she accused him in court of siphoning off millions of pounds during their relationship.

‘Besotted’ multimillionaire socialite Vanessa Wurm, 41, believes she was ‘intentionally targeted’ on social media by meditating businessman Kash Amini, 35, with whom she had a romantic relationship between 2019 and 2022. 

During that time, Mr Amini lived with Ms Wurm in her exclusive £4.1m pad in Grosvenor Crescent Mews, Knightsbridge.

But, following their split, Mr Amini, boss of the company behind ‘finance and wellness’ app Maslife, was accused of misusing funds Ms Wurm poured into his company while they were together, while squandering her cash on his ‘generally extravagant lifestyle.’

That included the purchase of a £10,000 personalised number plate KASIH for a £350,000 Ferrari 812 Superfast belonging to her ‘extremely wealthy, elderly mother’ Rosemarie Wurm.

Ms Wurm even told the court that Mr Amini drove off in her mother’s lavish vehicle ‘with a large grin on his face’ after she ended their relationship.

‘I was besotted by Kash and was engulfed by his charm offensive,’ Ms Wurm told the court. ‘He came across as very sincere and I was captivated by him almost immediately…he made me feel special.

‘My mother and I are very trustworthy people. We have lived an uneventful life in that we never experienced people who wanted to know us for ulterior motives.’

‘Wellness guru’ Kash Amini, 35, has been ordered to pay multimillionare Vanessa Wurm, 41, a total of £3,862,900 after she sued him for secretly siphoning off millions of her cash during their three-year relationship (the pair are pictured together in Cannes, France, in May 2022)

Ms Wurm believes she was ‘intentionally targeted’ on social media by Mr Amini who is accused of squandering her cash on his ‘generally extravagant lifestyle.’

The entrepreneur and socialite had also previously accused her ex of holding £45,000 worth of luxury clothing – including Dolce & Gabbana silk pyjamas and Hermes sandals.

Mr Amini is also suspected of having passed large sums of Ms Wurm’s cash to his dry-cleaning company boss brother Bahador, who allegedly used the funds to buy himself a £250,000 Bentley Bentayga and a £1.5m apartment in Chelsea. 

The former couple lived a lavish lifestyle, attending Royal Ascot and splashing hundreds of thousands of pounds on expensive goods. 

In her affidavit, Ms Wurm told the court that she had ‘paid for everything’ including expensive holidays, clothes and gifts, private jets and credit card bills.    

As well as their personal entanglement, the pair had ‘a professed business element’ to their relationship, her barrister Andrew Butler KC said, with Ms Wurm claiming to have invested £3.2m in Mr Amini’s business based on ‘promises of a shareholding and a position within the business’.

Suing for her money back, she claimed the shareholding she received was not of the proportion she was entitled and that, whilst she was appointed COO of the company briefly, her position was ‘promptly terminated at the end of their relationship’.

Lawyers for Ms Wurm told the High Court that examination of his personal and company bank accounts showed that the millions she thought she was using to buy a major stake in his business had in fact been ‘dissipated in a bewildering array of directions.’

As part of her case, Ms Wurm’s barrister highlighted a newspaper interview from August 2022, in which Mr Amini spoke of using the ‘power of meditation’ to clear £1million of debts.

In the interview, Mr Amini spoke of ‘imploding’ seven years ago after mentally exhausting himself when variously working as a crypto trader, financier, entrepreneur and restaurateur, before taking a break to engage in mindful meditation and devoting four years to ‘self-development’.

He said his spiritual transformation helped him clear his debts and, after picking himself up, he went on to found Maslife, which aims to help people make better health and financial choices, and encourages practising yoga and meditation.

Mr Butler said: ‘Since he had no – or no significant – income throughout the duration of his relationship with Ms Wurm, she believes that if and in so far as Mr Amini did clear such a debt, he actually did so through the misapplication of the payments.

The barrister said that disclosure of Mr Amini’s finances had ‘revealed that Ms Wurm’s money ‘had been dissipated in a bewildering array of directions’

‘Given that Ms Wurm had known Bahador previously to have lived a very modest lifestyle, living with his mother, operating the laundry business and driving an old van, it is difficult to identify any catalyst for the change in his circumstances other than the money given by Ms Wurm to Kash Amini’.

In September last year, a judge debarred Mr Amini and the company from defending the action due to their non-compliance with court orders for disclosure of financial records.

And on Friday High Court Master Paul Teverson ordered Mr Amini and his company Maslife Ltd to pay £3,862,900 to Ms Wurm and to give an account of ‘any profit derived from the misapplication of those funds’.

He also ordered the return of the Ferrari, declaring that it is the rightful property of Ms Wurm’s mother.

Bahador Amini denies the claims against him, and Ms Wurm’s action against him will return to court at a later date.
