Who is Mary Henry? Howard Rubin’s Wife Who Filed for Divorce After His Shocking ‘S*x Dungeon’ Scandal

Mary Jullien Henry is best known as the former wife of disgraced Wall Street millionaire Howard Rubin, who was recently indicted on federal charges including sx trafficking, coercion, and transportation for prostitution*. Rubin, once a high-profile trader and fund manager, allegedly ran a secret BDSM “s*x dungeon” inside his luxury Manhattan penthouse near Central Park, where multiple women claim to have been tortured and abused.

Early Life and Education

Mary Henry was born to Samuel Joseph Henry, who served as the national advertising director for Trans World Airlines (TWA), and his wife. She graduated from Occidental College and went on to earn her MBA from Harvard University — the same institution where Rubin completed his business degree.

Marriage to Howard Rubin

Henry married Howard Rubin in 1985 in Arizona, according to The New York Times. At the time of their marriage, Henry worked as an associate at Merrill Lynch Capital Markets, while Rubin was a securities trader at Salomon Brothers. The couple shared a strong Wall Street background and became known in New York’s financial circles.

They went on to have three children together and lived in a five-bedroom apartment on the Upper East Side of Manhattan during the early 2000s.

Divorce After Scandal

In 2017, the first set of lawsuits surfaced against Rubin, filed by several women — including two Playboy models — who accused him of assault, rpe, and sadistic abuse*. Another woman sued him for $7 million in 2018, claiming that he attacked her in his soundproof “s*x dungeon.”

Following the disturbing revelations, Mary Henry filed for divorce in 2021 at the Manhattan Supreme Court, ending her decades-long marriage. Reports indicated that Henry was devastated by the allegations but remained focused on protecting her family’s privacy.

Rubin’s Federal Indictment

In September 2025, Rubin and his assistant Jennifer Powers were formally indicted in the Eastern District of New York. Prosecutors accused them of spending over $1 million to operate a national trafficking ring, recruiting women to New York for brutal BDSM encounters in exchange for money.

According to FBI Assistant Director Christopher G. Raia, Rubin and Powers “exploited Rubin’s status to lure women, inflicted unimaginable trauma, and silenced victims with threats of legal action.”

Both defendants have pleaded not guilty to all charges, but the case continues to draw public attention for its shocking details and connection to New York’s financial elite.
