Real Brokerage CEO’s MILLION-DOLLAR Plot to Steal Employee’s Wife

(NationalFreedomPress.com) – A powerful CEO allegedly weaponized his wealth and position to destroy a subordinate employee’s marriage, offering millions to lure her away from her husband in a stunning abuse of corporate power that exposes the moral rot festering in America’s business elite.

CEO’s Alleged Million-Dollar Marriage Destruction Scheme

Tamir Poleg, CEO of publicly traded Real Brokerage, stands accused of making an audacious proposition to destroy a family. Michael Steckling filed a $5 million alienation of affection lawsuit in Utah federal court, alleging Poleg offered his wife Paige $1.5 million in cash and a multimillion-dollar Park City home to abandon their marriage. The couple married in 2013 and raised two children together before Paige joined Real Brokerage in January 2024. According to the lawsuit, Poleg’s interference began with October 2024 meetings and escalated to explicit financial offers by early 2025, culminating in Paige filing for divorce just three days after allegedly receiving instructions to access the promised funds.

Corporate Power Meets Family Values Destruction

This case epitomizes the dangerous intersection of unchecked corporate power and the erosion of family values that conservatives have warned about for decades. A CEO allegedly exploited his position of authority over a subordinate employee, using wealth accumulated through a publicly traded company to pursue an extramarital affair. The timing raises serious questions: Poleg sold $21.3 million in Real Brokerage stock during 2025, with a significant February 3 sale occurring the same day he allegedly emailed Paige instructions for accessing the $1.5 million. While Poleg claims these were pre-planned sales under SEC Rule 10b5-1, the optics are devastating for a company already struggling with 22 percent stock decline and facing investor concerns about dilution from executive actions.

Utah’s Pro-Marriage Law Under Legislative Attack

Utah remains one of only six states preserving the common-law “alienation of affection” tort, which allows wronged spouses to sue third parties who deliberately interfere in marriages. This legal protection for the sanctity of marriage reflects traditional values that recognize marriage as more than a private contract but rather a foundational institution deserving societal protection. However, a 2025 Utah legislative bill seeks to abolish this important safeguard, mirroring the ongoing nationwide assault on family-oriented legal frameworks. The Steckling case demonstrates precisely why such protections matter: without legal recourse, powerful individuals face no consequences for deliberately destroying families for personal gratification, leaving devastated spouses and children with no remedy whatsoever.

Defense Strategy Exposes Elite Accountability Gap

Poleg’s defense reveals the predictable playbook of wealthy elites caught in moral failures. In a January 23 email to Real Brokerage’s 30,000 agents, he admitted to a “brief relationship” that “ended nearly a year ago” but characterized the lawsuit as a “clear attempt to exploit” his public standing. His legal team filed formal denials on January 16, disputing the marriage’s stability before his involvement and claiming any financial support came only after Paige’s separation decision, positioning meetings as purely work-related. Paige Steckling echoed this narrative, stating claims “do not reflect reality” and expressing confidence in the legal process. This pattern—admit to inappropriate conduct while denying consequences—exemplifies how corporate elites often evade accountability for behavior that would destroy ordinary Americans’ careers and reputations.

Broader Implications for Corporate Culture

The Real Brokerage scandal extends beyond one CEO’s alleged moral failure to illuminate systemic workplace concerns. Poleg previously faced a June 2025 lawsuit from former CFO Michelle Ressler alleging maternity discrimination and business improprieties, settled in November 2025 with no company payments but unresolved questions about corporate culture. Real Brokerage experienced explosive growth, adding $23 billion in transaction volume between 2023 and 2024 and expanding its agent roster 40 percent to 30,000 by third quarter 2025, making it the second-largest firm by volume additions. Yet this rapid expansion coincides with troubling leadership controversies that raise questions about whether growth came at the expense of ethical standards and employee protections that conservative values demand from American businesses.
