Exclusive Yellowstone Club files for bankruptcy
2008-11-10
BILLINGS, Mont. - A spokesman for the Yellowstone Club says the exclusive resort for the super-rich has filed for bankruptcy after failing to secure financing for an expansion. The members-only club in Montana's Gallatin Mountains boasts a private ski hill and golf course and counts former Vice President Dan Quayle and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates among its members. Spokesman Bill Keegan says the club filed for Chapter 11 protection in federal bankruptcy court on Monday -- just two months after announcing an ambitious expansion plan. The club recently endured the divorce of its founders, Tim and Edra Blixseth, and a $39.5 million settlement in a lawsuit brought by club member and cycling superstar Greg LeMond.
