Heirs Battle Over Cleaning Empire Fortune Nearly a Decade After Founder's Death
A protracted legal dispute continues over the $28 million estate of Broadlex founder George Tsivis, with his ex-wife recently denied a substantial inheritance.
The heirs of George Tsivis, the immigrant founder of the Broadlex cleaning empire, are engaged in a legal battle over his $28 million fortune, nearly a decade after his death.
A recent court ruling has denied Tsivis's ex-wife, Angela Sakellis, a multimillion-dollar inheritance, although the dispute is far from settled.
Tsivis, who started as a cleaner, built Broadlex into a multi-million dollar enterprise. The company today employs approximately 2,000 people and serves major corporations. Tsivis and Sakellis married in 1968 and founded what would become Broadlex a year later as a small, two-person operation in Sydney.
Broadlex became a multimillion-dollar business that today employs about 2,000 people and counts major corporations like CBRE among its clients.
The legal dispute over Tsivis's estate has been ongoing since his death, mirroring a real-life 'Succession' narrative where family members vie for control of a vast fortune.
