Carolyn Whitney Carter (born January 12, 1990) is a Virgin Islander actress, model and beauty pageant titleholder who won Miss US Virgin Islands 2016. She represented the U.S. Virgin Islands at the Miss Universe 2016.[citation needed]. On July 26, 2023, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission charged Carolyn Carter with insider trading after she allegedly used insider information from her former boyfriend, 86 year old billionaire Joe Lewis.[1] Lewis and Carter were in a romantic relationship from 2013-2020.[1]
Personal life
[edit]Carter was born in New Orleans and grew up in St Croix. She graduated from AZ Academy in St. Croix and swam competitively for the St. Croix Dolphins for 11 years and the US Virgin Islands National Swim Team. She attended Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, where she studied art and art history.
Carter moved in with Tottenham Hotspur owner Joe Lewis in 2015 or 2016 and they continued a romantic relationship until 2020.[1] He frequently gave her gifts, including cash transfers of approximately $100,000 per year.[1]
In September 2019, while Carter was dating Joe Lewis, she received insider information about Mirati Therapeutics, a publicly traded oncology company in which Lewis invests. Carter bought 16,400 shares of the company, using almost all the funds in her brokerage account. The day after Mirati announced encouraging trial results, its stock closed up more than 16%, and Carter sold all her stock.[2]
