Clare Bronfman, a billionaire heiress to the Seagram’s liquor fortune, was sentenced Wednesday to a prison term of 6 years and 9 months for her role in the cult-like NXIVM group.
Bronfman is the daughter of the late Canadian billionaire, former Seagram chairman Edgar Bronfman Sr., and a member of NXIVM’s executive board. She was immediately taken into custody and put behind bars following the sentencing. She was also fined $500,000.
