How long has he been married to Stephanie Seymour?
Brant married Stephanie Seymour in 1995, when she was among the world's best known supermodels.

He had reportedly fought a lengthy battle with addiction.
Brant also had five children with Simms, although one, Ryan Brant, died in 2019 after suffering a cardiac arrest.
What is Peter Brant's net worth?
Before the economic crash, Brant reportedly had a net worth of around $1.4billion.
However, in a 2007 court filing, he said that the events of that year, combined with the declining circulation of print media, had reduced his net worth to around $500million.
His worth is now estimated to be around $800million, though his art collection could make it considerably higher.
