Carole Ghosn, originally from Beirut, is the second wife of fallen business tycoon Carlos Ghosn. She was born in 1966 and is now 55 years old. She is a successful entrepreneur who has spent nearly her entire life in the United States. Carole is an American citizen, as are her three children from her previous marriage.

After meeting Carlos, the couple fell in love and married in 2016 at the prestigious Versailles Palace near Paris. Their wedding ceremony was extravagant, drawing the attention of authorities, who reportedly questioned the nature of the ceremony's funding.

Carole Ghosn is also said to be the president of an unnamed company that was used to purchase a high-end yacht. Prosecutors believe the yacht was purchased with funds diverted in part from Nissan. However, no charges were filed against her in connection with the allegations.

She was also accused of assisting her husband in fleeing Japan. However, the former business tycoon insisted that he received no aid from anyone, including his wife, and that he organized his escape entirely on his own.

After her husband's infamous escape from Japan to Lebanon, Japanese prosecutors generated an arrest warrant for Carole Ghosn. The court charged her with perjury because she allegedly lied about an individual connected to her husband's alleged fraud.

Carole has always stood in support of her husband and claimed his innocence. In an interview with CNBC, Carole said:

"We know it’s a conspiracy. Nissan did not want this merger…. A few people within Nissan decided to get rid of my husband, that was the easiest way not to do the merger."

Ghosn is currently living with her husband Carlos at their home in Lebanon.
