The Most Expensive Divorces Of All Time

Random Celebrity Article By Brian Warner on March 22, 2013

What are the most expensive celebrity divorces of all time? This list really highlights a simple rule if you plan on being rich and married some day: GET A PRENUP! I don't care how awkward that conversation will be, it might end up saving you millions, or hundreds of millions, or even BILLIONS of dollars some day. Actually, maybe the better rule to take away from this list is don't get divorced. That could mean one of two things: 1) Marry someone who you truly love and never violate your sacred bond. 2) If you are ever tempted to violate that sacred bond, ask yourself if one night of pleasure is worth half your fortune, then go home and take a cold shower. Honestly it's hard to feel bad for these people because even though they all wrote massive checks and lost large chunks of their net worths, they are all still extremely wealthy. And many of them went on to marry much much much younger women, even after becoming 50% poorer. So now get ready to read about the most expensive divorces of all time.
