He became one of the youngest partners at Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. and was involved in the RJR Nabisco buyout. After graduating from Bucknell University, Ammon followed his first wife to London, where he worked as a Barrister. He met his estranged wife, Generosa, when she called him after he failed to keep an appointment for an apartment she was to show him; they married in 1986. Generosa became increasingly suspicious and jealous, eventually finding a receipt for a divorce lawyer in Ted's desk. From there, the marriage became hostile, with Generosa being the constant source of friction. They were about to finalize their bitter divorce when he was found beaten to death in his home adjoining the Maidstone Golf Club course in East Hampton (village), New York. On January 15, 2002, Generosa married her boyfriend, Daniel Pelosi. Ammon's banker, J. P. Morgan, took the unusual step of challenging her as co-executor of his estate. The incident was the subject of an article in Vanity Fair and the made-for-TV movie Murder in the Hamptons, starring David Sutcliffe as Ammon. Pelosi was convicted of his murder in December 2004. In her will, Generosa appointed her nanny legal guardian of her and Ted's adopted twins; in 2005, full custody was awarded to his sister.
