He’s lucky he’s not in a community property state.
Wow, the level of animosity towards the guy because he’s a man, and a CEO to boot.
Well, then, I guess that settles it. He’s a male ex-CEO who is very wealthy, that means that she’s entitled to his money. Makes perfect sense to me.
I can do better, I would divorce my own husband for a quarter of that.
Of course my husband doesn’t have that kind of money, so there…
:dubious:
You sure about that?
16,000,000 @ 5% = 800,000 on my calculator. That is less than 16 weeks before any taxes are taken out.
This is one of those things where I’m perfectly willing to let the court decide without second guessing it (them?). It wasn’t a long marriage, but who knows whether riding the married-to-a-Countess-who-entertains-lavishly train was what got him that Director of the Board position.
It’s a divorce. No matter how much money there is, or how it’s split, both sides are going to feel hard done by. And both sides are soothing their feelings more than anything else.
Yes, she is ILL, her husband has sickened her with an overabundance of wealth, and now she needs treatment.
She needs to be slowly weaned from her spending habits. Very slowly - $4000 a week for clothes this month, $3999 next month, etc. Unfortunately, because of inflation, $3999 worth of clothes next month will actually cost more than $4000.
She is also a victim of the economy. Oh, how I feel her pain. :rolleyes:
Good thing they have a legally binding contract that both parties agreed to, stating exactly how the money is to be divided.
I think I’m right. $43,000,000 X 5% = $2,150,000/yr interest income only
$2,150,000/52 wks = $41,346.15 per week.
This is pretty close to her settlement requirements. although I didn’t take taxes into consideration.

She’s claiming that he gave her the ultimatum: “Sign this postnup or I’ll divorce you.” She’s working to get the contract voided legally. If that happens, then it wasn’t a legally binding contract.
I don’t have a legal background, but I’ve heard that some divorce courts do not recognize pre and post nups. The idea being that there are already laws governing marriage and divorce and no one gets to rewrite them just because they want to marry someone that has less money than they do.
Think of it as a stimuus plan.
