Irene got married for the first time to her fellow student Philip Rosenfeld. Her wedding vows with husband Philip took place at the time when she started her doctoral studies in 1977. From getting married to husband Philip, she has been blessed with two daughters named as Carol and Allison.
Her elder daughter Carol is currently working as an environmental engineer. She earned her University education from Princeton University. Likewise, Irene’s younger daughter Allison took her mother’s footsteps and studied Human Ecology at Cornell University.
Irene’s splendid marriage life with Philip ended when he passed away in the year 1995. After some years, she found the happiness again in her life when she tied the knot with an investment banker named Richard Illgen. Even after her first spouse Philip’s death, she put his name as her middle name.
Rosenfeld has kept all information about her personal life secret. Even becoming one of the prominent names in the business world, she has been successful to maintain a low profile life.
Presently, she is living with her second husband Richard in a $3.9 million worth house which is based on shores of Lake Michigan in an affluent village of Kenilworth.
Irene attends many media events. However, she is not very active on social networking sites. Two years back, she takes the stage at The Wall Street Journal WSJECO. Let’s check out the post where she is tagged in.
