Emerging artist Kai Schachter, 19, died in London last week, it is reported

The 19-year-old is the grandson of Denise and her late husband Marc, who passed away in Switzerland in June 2013

He is the son of art dealer Kenny Schachter and Ilona Rich Schachter

At the time of his death, Kai was living between London and New York City, where he shared an apartment with his brother Adrian and two other artists

Kai reportedly took his life after being left 'heartbroken' by a 'busted romance'

Kai's grandmother Denise, a well-known songwriter, donated more than $1 million to the Democrats while Bill Clinton was president

Hours before leaving office in January 2001, Clinton issued a presidential pardon to Denise's husband Marc, who was indicted on 65 criminal counts in 1983

Rich fled to Switzerland after learning about the indictment charges, which included tax evasion, fraud, and trade with Iran during the oil embargo

The artist grandson of wealthy Manhattan socialite and Clinton donor Denise Rich and her late financier husband Marc has passed away in London after reportedly taking his own life.

Kai Schachter, the 19-year-old son of art dealer Kenny Schachter and artist Ilona Rich Schachter, is understood to have taken his own life in London last Monday, according to Page Six, which claims that his death came after he was left 'heartbroken' by a 'busted romance'.

'Kai’s death is a devastating loss, he was a hugely gifted artist with a wonderful spirit and a sense of humor that touched everyone he met,' the Rich and Schachter families said in a statement. 'The family is asking for privacy at this time as they take time to grieve and gather all of the details.'

Kai is believed to have have been living between London and New York at the time of his death.

While in Manhattan, Kai was understood to have been sharing an apartment with his brother Adrian and two other artist friends on the Lower East Side, while he had built up a close circle of prominent friends in London, including Jude Law's son Rafferty, and socialite Lady Lola Crichton-Stuart.

Kai and his brother Adrian had also previously been featured in the pages of Vogue Italia.

 

The talented teenager was one of four children of Kenny and Ilona, who is the daughter of late financier Marc, known to many as the 'King of Commodities' and songwriter Denise.

 

Marc died at the age of 78 in June 2013 at a hospital in Lucerne, Switzerland, having fled to Europe in 1983 when he and his business partner were charged with more than 50 counts of fraud, racketeering and tax evasion.

The charges could have earned him 300 years in prison - however, in 2001, Clinton decided to pardon him hours before leaving office, leading to speculation he was motivated by receiving thousands of dollars in donations from the financier's ex-wife Denise, who is said to have given around $1 million to the Democrats during Clinton's presidency.

Rich spent nearly two decades on the FBI's Most Wanted list, and narrowly escaped capture in Finland, Germany, Britain and Jamaica.

Among the most serious crimes of which he was accused was trading with Iran during the U.S. Embassy hostage crisis, when he was alleged to have taken advantage of the oil embargo to make huge profits in the energy market.

He had previously insisted that he was neutral on all matters of international relations, saying: 'In our business we're not political. That's just the philosophy of our company.'

 

Switzerland refused to hand Rich over to U.S. authorities because of its secretive tax laws and neutral policy towards Iran, and his lawyers repeatedly pressed the Department of Justice to drop the case against him.

When DoJ officials refused to negotiate, Rich's attorneys turned to Clinton, and on January 20, 2001 he granted the fugitive a pardon - just hours before he handed over the White House to George W. Bush.

Critics pointed out that Denise Rich had donated $200,000 to the Democratic Party in the previous year, as well as giving money for Clinton's presidential library.

However, a federal investigation did not find evidence of wrongdoing, and the outgoing President insisted that he had taken advice from independent legal experts.
