Number of Divorces: 1
Settlements: -$90.0 million
Settlement Amount: $90.0 million
No one prepares for divorce like Hollywood superstar Bruce Willis. There's probably a Die Hard-spinoff sitting somewhere exploring the audacity of his failed union with pop culture icon, Demi Moore. Laugh? Sorry, we mean gasp in this case because the financial bill is not a comedy flick. The collapse of their high-profile marital bliss came in with an avalanche. An incredible $90 million devastation for Willis. Not a plot twist he anticipated.
A Bruce unlike his on-screen roles didn't 'Die Hard' trying to save this sinking ship. You could describe his divorce chronicles as performing his own dangerous stunts in real life, however, the hero didn't emerge victorious this time. Able humoringly to foot a colossal $90 million as part of a settlement to seal their much-publicized divorce, the happening literally catapulted us as spectators. We guess ‘till death do us part’ doesn’t quite rubber stamp in when signing for a breakup. In fairness , the adventure thickens the plot of an already dramatic Hollywood script!
To reiterate, Bruce Willis' monstrous settlement doesn't spell ‘the end’ dashed in bright red for our action star. If humbling is the aftermath here, Willis can take it. The action hero throughout his movie career has found himself stranded on asteroids nearing destruction (Armageddon), an assassinated rogue soldier turned ghost (The Sixth Sense), and part of an incompatible marriage demanding a monumental divorce settlement. Yet through it all his trajectory reflects persistence over any daunting adversity, and we do mean any - including exuberant financial upheavals. Just another day in life, according to his playbook we'd suppose!
