Dennis Kozlowski skimps on new bride

Big boats are out, but big rocks and fast cars are still in for Dennis Kozlowski, whose second wife, Karen , divorced him while he was serving six years in prison.

The chrome-domed ex-CEO, who looted $150 million from Tyco Inc., was with his new young wife on Monday night at the Ferrari showroom on Park Avenue, where the new California T was unveiled.

“He’s out and about, looking happy, healthy and rich,” a fellow guest told me. “She’s young, and the rock on her finger is huge.”

Before the newlyweds headed off for dinner at Hatsuhana, my source says, “I overheard them saying that he just bought her a car” — perhaps a more modest vehicle than a Ferrari.

Kozlowski’s lawyer, Alan Lewis, declined to give me the new Mrs. Kozlowski’s name, but said the ring was a cubic zirconium “purchased for about $200.”

I reported on Sunday that the 147-foot yacht Kozlowski commissioned before he went away is an empty hull bobbing in Mamaroneck harbor.

Kozlowski was supposedly cleaned out when he paid $134 million in restitution, plus a $70 million criminal fine. He was released from prison earlier this year.
