Pilar also got divorced and later married the hedge-fund titan Stephen Robert, with whom she founded Source of Hope, which does humanitarian work, mostly in Africa. "Stephen Robert and Pilar Crespi discovered that they had a mutual passion for philanthropy when they met in 1996 on a blind date in New York. Yet nothing happened for two months. Stephen wasn’t sure that Pilar liked him. But when the principal owner of Oppenheimer & Co., who also served as chancellor of his alma mater, Brown University, ran into the friend who’d introduced them, he was encouraged to call Pilar again. “I liked Steve,” says Pilar, the former New York model, fashion coordinator for the designer Valentino in Rome, and public relations professional. “I was on the board of the Henry Street Settlement, which provides vital services to more than 60,000 New Yorkers each year. Steve and I discussed our interest in giving back and discovered that we had many of the same values.” Pilar and Stephen’s second date at an Italian restaurant sealed the deal. They were married the following year, about the time Stephen left Oppenheimer after selling the investment bank to the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce for $525 million. Within months, the newlyweds began to focus solely on philanthropy through what Robert calls a holistic approach. They seek to understand a problem in its entirety, and to supply sustainable aid like food, water, medical care, money and education to those who need it the most. Together, they slowly began building their Source of Hope Foundation to provide monetary aid to disadvantaged people at home and abroad, helping them lead healthier and more productive lives."
"FLASH! Pilar Crespi, the tall, ravishing, half-American, half-Italian daughter of Countess Rodolfo (Consuelo) Crespi and the late Count Rodolfo Crespi, is engaged to handsome Stephen Robert, the chairman of Oppenheimer & Co., the New York investment banking firm. They will marry in East Hampton in the late summer at a very small wedding, with only Pilar’s son by a former marriage and Stephen’s two children by a former marriage present. They met a year ago and have been seeing one another for the past seven months."
