About Madonna

Luck may favor the bold, but it appears it evaded the "Queen of Pop" Madonna during her catapulting love escapades. If Hollywood break-ups had championships, then Madonna’s alienated affair with the acclaimed director, Guy Ritchie, unequivocally deserves the first position in this game of disheartening ostentation.

As their love story featured a vibrant palette of red-hot glares compounded by an icy avalanche of mutual recriminations, it headed adamantly towards a punchline in court. Madonna invested quite brilliantly in the no-prenuptial-area resulting in a hefty setback to her Versace-soaked balance sheet to the tune of - surprise, surprise - $76,000,000! Everyone knows Madonna is the Material Girl, but maybe her ex-hubby, Ritchie, could be dubbed the Material Man, given that he woefully did not capture her heart, but he did walk away lighter on the love quotients and heaps heavier in moolah!

Let’s call it as we see it, Madonna's hefty settlement with Ritchie surely qualifies him for a spot in the Guinness World Record for "Highest Amount Bagged by Turning Frogs into Princes" (so long as the frog miraculously sprouts a Midas touch and a sack!). I guess next time - if there is a next time - prenups might feature as the radical-chic 'rebel-heart anthem' on Madonna's matrimonial playlist song!
