Sad that they are divorcing.
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 en led 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 s ed 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."

Was she a Jew???
I'll take some of that since there is enough to go around.
There should be a flat rate. It's not fair how much the women gets.
.....and I thought that Heather Mills getting 50 million was crazy!!!
Cant believe this is even legal...
That has nothing to do with him cheating on her.
Mel needs to bail out O.J. and have a summit.
Did he at least call her Sugar s???
Mad Max, Lethal Weapon, Braveheart, The Patriot - Mel loves playing people with dead or murdered wives. I think he's going to enjoy playing them even more now.
No clue.
That sounds like a strippers stage name.
in bull . 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 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 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 ing pre-nup. Better yet, don't get married.
I certainly hope you stay single.
Go yourself.
I'm getting divorced as we speak. I'm in the process of losing half my 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 cheated on me. So I know a little bit about getting ed 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 ing hit to me.
So, again, go yourself.
Yeah, that's pretty much what I expected from a .
This is intended for comedic value only. Please do not misinterpret my intent. , I'll just say it, I am NOT endorsing the murder of anyone for any reason.Chris Rock: Everybody need a pre-nup. People think you gotta be rich to get a pre-nup. You got twenty million and your wife wants ten, big deal, you ain't starvin'! But if you got thirty thousand, and your wife wants fifteen, you might have to kill her!
Just an FYI, too.
Some states do not recognize pre-nups. Michigan being one.
According to Martin Lawrence from his show Martin!
Cheaper in the wallet, more expensive mentally. All things being equal, I'm a of lot better off now.
