She currently resides in the Chicagoland area with her husband, Kurt, who is also an investment banker (and her former business partner). They have no children, pets, or plants, and are avid sports fans (particularly of NFL football). Carol is also a recovering toy collector, recently trading in a portion of her collection for a more sophisticated toy (a Simpsons pinball machine). For more information on Carol, visit CarolRoth.com.
