Title: Most expensive divorce settlement ever: $4.5 billion Post by: bryant.coleman on May 20, 2014, 07:50:00 AM http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-27474162
Quote A Russian billionaire has been ordered to pay more than 4bn Swiss francs (£2.7bn; $4.5bn) to his ex-wife to settle a six-year divorce battle. The Geneva court's verdict means Dmitry Rybolovlev, the owner of French football team AS Monaco, will lose around half of his estimated fortune. His net worth is estimated at $8.8 billion right now, and this settlement means that his wife will be richer than him and he loses the custody of his younger daughter. Would like to hear opinions from others.

Title: Re: Most expensive divorce settlement ever: $4.5 billion Post by: kuroman on May 20, 2014, 08:01:51 AM We don't know all the circumstances about the case, like what was the wife contribution to the guy fortune and stuff, but I know that sometimes and according to civil laws in some countries in case of divorce the fortune is split between both which is really unfair and one of the reason why some women marry to rich people, if the wife didn't contribute to this fortune of course

No they're not. They all fly under the radar these days. Calling each other spouses, have rings but no marriage documents. Mind you cohabitation without papers is risky too.

This oligarch made his money in Russia, and then dumped his home nation and went to Europe. It'll be interesting to see who will control Uralkali now.

If you are rich and want to keep your money in case something like that happens in the future you are simply writing marriage articles. With it there is no problem who gets what in case of a trouble in marriage.

Is it always the guy who has to give up half his assets or does it go either way based on who has the most money? Just wondering because I only hear about guys getting screwed from a divorce Title: Re: Most expensive divorce settlement ever: $4.5 billion Post by: hilariousandco on May 20, 2014, 03:09:06 PM Should've got a Pre-nup. It's to be expected. If the shoe was on the other foot and you were married to a female billionaire I'm sure you'd try clamber for what you could.

That's societies problem. Shame people are so ignorant. Marriage is such an outdated and hollow institution nowadays anyway. It means nothing really. Title: Re: Most expensive divorce settlement ever: $4.5 billion Post by: yayayo on May 20, 2014, 03:19:30 PM That's outrageous! If she didn't contribute to wealth she deserves nothing.
On the other hand: Why should a billionaire marry at all? There's no real benefit just a high risk to be ripped of. ya.ya.yo!

A lot of the time, they want a pretty young thing hanging on their arm. The rich people I actually like are the ones who can go backpacking anonymously and talk to ordinary people while doing it and not be all, "Look at me, I'm Bill Gates." Title: Re: Most expensive divorce settlement ever: $4.5 billion Post by: jsmit332 on May 20, 2014, 03:30:29 PM Id put all my money into bitcoins so they cant be ceased and i would technically be worth nothing, 1/2 of nothing is nothing.

Since when do billionaires have a problem attracting 'pretty young things'? They don't need to marry them as there'll always be a steady supply of women eager to take their place.

Yes, but billionaires can pay for a whole group of high-class hookers 24-hour all day. Even that would be a lot cheaper than to marry a gold digger that takes away half of your whole fortune. A marriage makes absolutely no sense if you're that rich. ya.ya.yo!

Stock prices and their equity is dependent on public image and stability.Too much risk in organizing escort orgies. Sexual affairs (including with hookers) have ruined businessmen and politicians for centuries Title: Re: Most expensive divorce settlement ever: $4.5 billion Post by: kuroman on May 21, 2014, 02:03:49 PM I heard a discussion about this in the radio today, a key information here is that they've been married for 30 years or something like that, so there is some legitimity behind the judgement tho, she might have contributed in the fortune of the guy
Title: Re: Most expensive divorce settlement ever: $4.5 billion Post by: bitgeek on May 21, 2014, 02:07:20 PM Gold digger got what she wanted, on the other hand if he had that much money he should've included that in the marriage contract. So either he didn't - in which case he must've known earlier that in case of a divorce they split the money in half, or he earned the whole amount while being with her.

There was almost no family law in 1980s Russian. Most of the FSU still doesn't recognize what a prenuptial is Russian women look good but they only dress up for oligarchs and English / Germans staggers with first world money. Sucks more to be a man in the FSU Title: Re: Most expensive divorce settlement ever: $4.5 billion Post by: drporschef on May 21, 2014, 03:18:28 PM Wow... $4.5 billion?
You figure the chick isnt satisfied over having expensive things, that you`ll go far as to wreck someones lifes work of earning that money. Europe is very similar with U.S with litigation on sueing on everyone and divorce lol.

Like dude said before he could hire a hitman but probably he still feels something for her .
Title: Re: Most expensive divorce settlement ever: $4.5 billion Post by: kuroman on May 21, 2014, 06:16:23 PM Like I said before you guys are missing the fact that they've been married for 30 years and not yesterday hence the ruling

Marriage is a legal contract, and sometimes legal contracts have big financial cost when broken.

"i only now have 4.4 billion dollars.. life is fucking terrible." if he's a russian dude, he probably fucked over a lot of people to make his fortune.. so i see it only fit that he's losing half of his money now.
Title: Re: Most expensive divorce settlement ever: $4.5 billion Post by: drporschef on May 21, 2014, 07:05:45 PM Marriage = fail at life = fail wife. Sorry but its designed to fail regardless if you have money as you see here.

It's simple. People who aren't protecting themselves are going to get screwed; that's their own fault. Title: Re: Most expensive divorce settlement ever: $4.5 billion Post by: ShameOnYou on May 21, 2014, 07:14:11 PM To be honest here, we dont know any of the details. We do know that they were married for 23 years -- and trying to make any assumptions about her contribution to their lives and fortune is ridiculous. And trying to limit her share to some sort of "direct" (monetary) contribution to his business interests is absurd. She got custody of the child -- wonder why? Raise his child, be the better parent, and get nothing to show for giving half ones life away to marriage when they obviously never married under that pretense in the first place (ie prenump)? Yeah that would be total bs.

Pre-nuptial agreement signed in ounce country may not be valid in another. |
