The most expensive divorce?

[JudynTX]

:wow The wife will get $500 million!


Mel Gibson may soon be writing one of the biggest checks of his life – to his wife.

With no indication that the estranged couple – who married 28 years ago – had a prenup, Robyn Gibson, 53, is legally entitled in their divorce to half of everything the actor-director-producer earned from their marriage in 1980 to the date of their separation: A fortune estimated at close to $1 billion.

"This could easily be one of the biggest divorce settlements in Hollywood history," says Los Angeles family lawyer Lynn Soodik, who's not involved with the case. "Any attorney would advise her to take half."

Surpass Previous Records

A $500 million settlement would dwarf the current record holders of celebrity divorce:

Michael Jordan ponied up $168 million following his 2006 divorce with wife Juanita; Neil Diamond forked over $150 million after his 1994 split with Marcia Murphey; while Steven Spielberg shelled out $100 million following his 1989 divorce from Amy Irving.

Among Gibson's estimated assets: More than $600 million grossed by The Passion of the Christ alone, $100-plus million in real estate investments worldwide (he bought an island in Fiji for $15 million in 2004), and $75 million for film and TV projects for which Gibson executive produced.

As for film residuals, Gibson, also 53, "would be accountable to pay half for the rest of his days," Soodik says. "If he gets a residual check for Lethal Weapon or Braveheart, half of that check is hers."

But don't expect the ex-couple to enter a painful, protracted battle in the courts.

"This divorce will probably reach a settlement in a matter of months," Soodik says. "It likely won't be messy since there's enough money to go around."

Fuckin bullshit. When two people divorce, each should get whatever they put into the marriage. How much money did his wife earn over the course of their marriage? I'd love to know. Whatever it was, that's how much she deserves. I hate the hollywood cunt wives who usually (NOT ALWAYS!!! THAT'S WHY I SAID USUALLY!!!) sit on their asses spending their husband's money and then taking half his shit when they divorce.


A lesson to all you men out there. PRENUPTIAL AGREEMENT! It doesn't matter if you have $1,000,000 or $1. Get a fucking pre-nup. Better yet, don't get married.

I'm getting divorced as we speak. I'm in the process of losing half my shit even though during the course of my 8 and half year marriage, I earned 80% of the income, paid 80% of the expenses and the bitch cheated on me. So I know a little bit about getting fucked in a divorce. And I'm not a rich hollywood bigshot. I make a little over $30,000 a year so half is a big fucking hit to me.

So, again, go fuck yourself.

No, it's not. Alimony, in my opinion, is wrong across the board. If my wife made more money than me, I wouldn't dream of asking for alimony. If you and your spouse part ways, that should be it. A complete split. If you have kids, you figure out custody and child support, and you do your best to both be good and stable parents. If you don't have kids (in my case), you sign the papers, walk away and start fresh.

In modern times with no-fault divorces, alimony should be outlawed. If no one is legally at fault, why should one person be legally bound to continue to support the other after they're no longer married?

Hell to the no. My stance is and has always been if I got divorced, I'd never get married again. I feel that marriage is unnecessary. Two people can have a happy, successful relationship without it. I know people who have been in long standing relationships, both with kids and without, who are not only happy, but see no reason to make it state sanctioned. With divorce rates around 50% (higher in some areas), it just makes little to no sense to me.

Any relationship I have with a woman from here on out will be on the basis that marriage is not in the cards. If a woman can't handle that, I understand.

[Strike]

On the basis of what? What did she bring to the marriage financially? Just because they were married for a long time? Find me some proof that she earned that much of the marital assets and I'll agree.

I think alimony is usually a bunch of shit, but it has its place in some situations. If a woman was a stay at home mom for years and raised children that have grown up and are no longer eligible for child support, and she gets divorced ... that woman should get alimony, for at least a certain amount of time. Because she spent all of those years away from the work force, the odds of her getting even a halfway decent job are shit, and she at least deserves some start-up support to get back into school, etc. etc. It's for situations like these that alimony exists, but of course some people take advantage of the situation.

I didn't feel that way at the time. I was 22 when I married. I was young and naive. I didn't know shit. After seeing so many friends get married and divorced in the last 8 years and seeing all the turmoil they had to endure as a direct result of getting married, my feelings on the matter changed. Trust me, I didn't go about this decision lightly. I tried for a long time to make the marriage work. It took a few years before I finally realized my marriage was unrepairable. And once I realized it, I no longer cared. Once I no longer cared, I instantly felt more relaxed and had more peace of mind in my decision to end it.

My divorce isn't even final and I already feel happier than I have in a long time.

If I marry a rich chick and it doesn't work, all I want back is my own shit and the divorce signature. I don't care if I lived like a millionaire before with her; no way would I be entitled to keep living like that off her support just because we were once in love.

I disagree. Here's an example. My mother and father married in '69. My three older siblings are hers from previous marriages. Before they met, she raised them while putting herself through school AND working. (no spousal or child support and no welfare.) When my parents married she could have quit her job as a nurse because financially it wasn't necessary. She kept working to not only better provide for the family, she also wanted to retain her marketable skills in case my parents divorced. Through hard work they have been happily married for nearly 40 years. If my parents divorced tomorrow, she would be financially stable without alimony because she made a responsible choice to not depend on my father for everything.

Ok, my mom is an exception to the rule, fine. But it can be done. If you choose to be a stay at home parent/spouse with no motivation to acquire marketable skills, you take the risk of digging your own grave. I don't know if that is Mrs. Gibson and I won't make presumptions. But if he earned ALL the money or most of it, he should be entitled to keep what he earned minus child support.

[angel_luv]

But what if your husband wants you to be at home with the kids? Some men want that in a wife- someone who will be home for the kids when they the finish the school day and someone who will be there when he ( the husband) comes home from work.

My dad did.

Excellent point. If you (as a woman) want to be a working parent but your husband doesn't and refuses to budge, you shouldn't bend to the will of your husband. If you can't find a compromise, you don't belong together.

My parents worked alternate shifts for years (one working days, one working nights) so that someone would always be home for the children until they were old enough to be at home without supervision which in my house, wasn't until age 15. My parents made it work.

Any relationship, whether it be a marriage or not, is a partnership, not one person lording over the other. I don't mean to say anything derogatory towards your parents, I'm making a broad generalization.

[angel_luv]

Well I meant it more in regards to alimony. If a wife and her husband agree that she should stay at home with the kids- that that is what they both want for their marriage, then the wife is not shrinking from working but rather is pursuing a different sort of active ( though unpaid) employment.

I think those woman deserve alimony. They fulfilled their end of the maritial contract and should not be forced to start again penniless.

You can't really say that choosing to stay home with your kids equals no motivation to acquire marketable skills. When I married I made $70k per year. When we had kids, we made a joint conscious decision that I would stay home because we both strongly valued that kind of child rearing. It's worked out fine financially ---but bottom line is I did give up something to get here. Am I entitled to anything besides child support? Just curious. :)

If they both agree to that lifestyle, so be it. But I maintain that any spouse to chooses to completely depend on their spouse financially and makes no attempt to learn or acquire any knowledge or skills that can be used to support themselves in the event of a divorce shouldn't be entitled to anything except child support. If you don't qualify for child support, too bad.

Well most people at least have some work experience before they marry.
But it is not easy to leave the work force and then get let back in, particulary in our current economy.

Also, while it is good to be prepared, if you live out your marriage making every decisions based on the anticipation of possible divorce... what does that say about the state of your marriage? And, does such a practice limit a marriage?

Do you still have the skills necessary to earn the money you earned before you stopped? Bad economy not withstanding. If you made the choice to take yourself out of the workforce and didn't retain or maintain your skills then in my opinion, no. You should not be entitled to alimony. What happens if your husband dies and has no life insurance? Are you going to get alimony from a corpse? (Apologies for the blunt wording.)

And I didn't say that choosing to stay home with your kids equals no motivation. If my post implied that, I apologize. You can be a stay at home parent and still find a way to learn marketable skills. That way, in the event of a divorce, you're not dependent upon your ex for money.

These days, marriage is not a guarantee of "till death do us part". Wives AND husbands should always do whatever possible to have a backup plan if the marriage fails.

If you're married, work your hardest to make it work and keep it working. But don't go along blindly thinking that it's a 100% guarantee. And I should add that divorce is not the only issue. What about the death of your spouse? What if you're a stay at home mom and your husband dies unexpectedly? What then?

Be a good spouse. Love your husband/wife, be a good parent, do your best to live out the life. But be prepared. Expect the best, prepare for the worst.

I think the important phrase here is : Maintain your skills.

These days, there are people with skills who are losing their jobs. Imagine how much harder a to returner to the work force would likely have it!

Strike, I think you object, and rightly so, to wives who sit around all day just watching soap operas or gossiping at the beauty parlor.
Those wives don't contribute to the household and so I can understand your feeling they are not entitled to any profit from it.

But the majority of stay at home wives I know are true homemakers- care for their husbands and children, keep the house clean, and are also active in their churches and communities.

[Spur-Addict]

How do you quantify her worth in this marriage? How is it that she is deserving of 500 Mill? Surely she will be less well off financially without him, but to say 500 Mill, or even 100 mill is something justifiable is quite absurd.

The depreciation of her living standard as a claim is laughable. Even with 50 Mill she has more than enough time to make herself marketable. Hell, alot less and she can make herself marketable. She doesn't even have to do so if she so decides not to.

With this choice, she still can live smoothly. They have one child below eighteen, ONE. In the case of assisting his younger child, is this single child in need of hundreds of Millions of dollars? Lets be reasonable here.

Before they wed, she was a dental nurse so she has some sort of knowledge of how to support herself after their youngest is solidified as a member of society. She will not need 500, or even 100 Million to support herself, and the youngest up until this point in time.

Her economic ceiling in this profession doesn't even begin to approach 500 Mill, so her sacrificing a career which would provide such means is not applicable.

You have the luxury of no kids so you can say things like that. Sometimes it's cheaper to have the wifey stay at home than paying someone to watch during work hours

That's why there's child support.

And, again, husband and wife don't have to both work at the same time. My parents alternated shifts so one parent was always at home.

Also, if you can't afford childcare, you can't afford children.

This I'll agree with. Let her walk away with a one-time payment. After that, all bets should be off.

Go fuck yourself.

I'm getting divorced as we speak. I'm in the process of losing half my shit even though during the course of my 8 and half year marriage, I earned 80% of the income, paid 80% of the expenses and the bitch cheated on me. So I know a little bit about getting fucked in a divorce. And I'm not a rich hollywood bigshot. I make a little over $30,000 a year so half is a big fucking hit to me.

So, again, go fuck yourself.

Sorry to hear about that man, I hate women besides my mother and sister. This type of thing happens far too often. A coworker of mine was recently falsely accused of rape because he was leaving her, they're dirty and conniving. The vast majority of them can go to hell.

[jack sommerset]

On the basis of what? What did she bring to the marriage financially? Just because they were married for a long time? Find me some proof that she earned that much of the marital assets and I'll agree.

Its a partnership. Proof? Is 30 years not proof. 6 kids together not proof. Financially? Can you put a number on 6 kids and 30 years? How many times was he able to leave to make that money and she stayed behind taken care of those kids,house,bills,etc.... No telling what she did for him over 30 years. Thats proof to me. After 30 years and 6 kids "what his is hers and what hers is his" Now they are done, split it right down the middle.

This is not some girl that got knocked up in a one night stand or spent a couple of years together and all of a sudden wants his money. Seriously my man, that money is just as much hers and it is his. What proof do you have that she did not help him with decsions made in move roles,director roles,producer roles,finances.

God forbid if Gibson broke the marriage contract by getting some booty on the side. Son, don't get married if its all about who makes the money. Pretty sad if thats what you think marriage is about. I am sure she gave up ALOT in order for him to have his success. You want proof. Lamo.

Like I said in a previous post, I'll agree with the assumption that she deserves something. But not half.

[Spur-Addict]

The only thing the average homemaker deserves is child support if it is applicable, and a chance to become financially upwardly mobile.

[baseline bum]

So arbitrarily put the number at 50% then?

[jack sommerset]

Like I said in a previous post, I'll agree with the assumption that she deserves something. But not half.

The good news is they have a shitload of money. If you are right I doubt Gibson even gives a shit. I read he made 600 million off of Passions of Christ. They are LOADED.

If he wants to give her half and get it over with, more power to him. My whole thing is he shouldn't be forced to give up half.

Everything aside, no pre-nup, prepare to get fucked.

Hulk Hogan Says 'I Totally Understand OJ' Simpson

Wednesday, April 15, 2009

Hulk Hogan is sounding homicidal over the way his wife Linda dumped him, forced him out of his $18 million mansion, allegedly started spending his money at the rate of $40,000 a month and dating "some shaggy-haired pool boy 30 years her junior," Rolling Stone reports.

"I could have turned everything into a crime scene, like OJ, cutting everybody's throat," he told the magazine.

"You live half a mile from the 20,000-square-foot home you can't go to anymore, you're driving through downtown Clearwater and see a 19-year-old boy driving your Escalade, and you know that a 19-year-old boy is sleeping in your bed, with your wife . . . I totally understand OJ. I get it."

He and Linda are battling it out in a Florida divorce court, where Linda's attorney claims she's entitled to use the car and that Hogan's claims against her are merely an attempt to control her love life.

I can totally sympathize with him. That's just wrong to screw over your lifelong partner, the man who's gave you such an extravagant life these past 30 something years, and rub it in his face by blowing all his money and fucking around with some guy. Women can be downright fucking evil, although I'm hoping the OJ and throat cutting talk was just frustration. She doesn't deserve all that, no one does, but she sure as hell doesn't deserve his assets either just to throw them back in his face. Was she the one constantly training and sacrificing her body all those years to give them that type of life? I think not

Off and on. She'd always make some excuse about how the people at her job or her bosses were mean to her so she's always quit after a few months. I helped her get a job in a different department where I work. She's doing the same complaining about her boss now. She doesn't seem to get that your boss isn't your buddy. Anyway, she works part time and draws disability because she's deaf. She wouldn't be hurting for money if she didn't piss it off on clothes, shoes and purses

That's not really fair. I agree people need to prepare for the worst---but realistically when people marry, they are "in love", and not necessarily thinking about preparing for the divorce. Now say they are married for 30 yrs, and have 7 kids. They agree, he will bring in the paycheck and she will raise the kids, keep the house, etc. So, they have both been working hard for 30 yrs. When they divorce, he is close to retirement, nice golden parachute ready. But she didn't get paid those benefits so now she has to go to work to support herself? That's not right either.

[CuckingFunt]

I think alimony is usually a bunch of shit, but it has its place in some situations. If a woman was a stay at home mom for years and raised children that have grown up and are no longer eligible for child support, and she gets divorced ... that woman should get alimony, for at least a certain amount of time. Because she spent all of those years away from the work force, the odds of her getting even a halfway decent job are shit, and she at least deserves some start-up support to get back into school, etc. etc. It's for situations like these that alimony exists, but of course some people take advantage of the situation.

That.

Exactly, I mean I'd hate to see a hard working stay at home mom doing a great job raising the kids just hung out to dry. I agree that there are situations where the woman deserves compensation just as the one you've described. But 500 mil in unearned cash belonging to someone else is wrong. Hell, 5 million dollars is a very very very nice retirement and she should be grateful. Most divorced women don't get anywhere near that amount.

What did she do that is worth 500 million dollars? Lots of mothers have raised kids on not even a fraction of a percent of that. Why are her kids and years that much more special than a poor mother living in the ghetto?

They're not together anymore, she made the choice not to be with him, so why should she be able to take his cash and leave him? Give her enough pension to live comfortably and take care of herself and stay out of that man's pockets.

If some day I'm ever with a rich woman, and she loves me unconditionally for who I am and not because of my money, and takes great care of me and allows me to live a luxurious lifestyle, I'm not going to stab her in the back and leave her, thinking I somehow deserve half of her money. This woman should be grateful, but somewhere along the lines she got so spoiled that she got this sense of entitlement and decided to bite the hand that fed her.
