Biography
Schwartz, who comes from Miami, was an Easter Bowl champion as a junior, winning the girls' 16s title in 1984.[2] She played number one singles at the University of Miami. On the professional tour her best performance was a semi-final appearance at the 1986 Brazilian Open in São Paulo, which included a win over Arantxa Sánchez Vicario. At the 1988 Australian Open she made the second round of the women's singles in her only main draw singles appearance at a grand slam tournament. She has represented the United States at the Maccabiah Games.[3]
She is also an amateur golfer, playing at The American Express at PGA West in January 2020 and winning the amateur Overall Net category.[4][5][6] Schwartz was featured on the cover of Golf News Magazine for an interview where she provided details about her win.[7]
She met “Bond King” Bill Gross through a mutual friend in 2017, and they now live together in a Laguna Beach oceanfront mansion he bought for her, and which she decorated with a “love” theme.[8] Named “Rockledge by the Sea” by a prior owner, the 10,000-square-foot home was the third most-expensive home sale in 2018 in Orange County, California, at $32 million. The residence has 190 feet of ocean frontage, along with a private-access cove and beach.[9] Gross threw a 50th birthday party for Schwartz at the house in September 2019, featuring singer-songwriter and guitarist Kenny Loggins.[1]
