Billionaire timeshare mogul Stephen Cloobeck is engaged to Adva Lavie, a former model and Penthouse Pet, according to public announcements and social media posts. The engagement was reported by outlets like the New York Post in March 2026.
Adva Lavie was previously named in a 2023 civil lawsuit filed in Nevada by the family of the late billionaire Kirk Kerkorian. The suit alleged Lavie and others participated in a scheme to extract money from Kerkorian, using the term "honey trap." Lavie was not a defendant in that suit, which was filed against other individuals. The case was reportedly settled under confidential terms in 2024.
There is no verifiable information linking this personal engagement to Congressman Eric Swalwell. Searches for a current, substantiated connection between Swalwell, Cloobeck, and Lavie related to any alleged scheme returned no credible evidence from mainstream news sources as of April 2026.
Stephen Cloobeck is a known Democratic donor. Public FEC records show he has made contributions to various Democratic candidates and committees, but no specific, recent donations to Rep. Swalwell's campaigns were immediately verified for this report.
