Number of Divorces: 1
Settlements: +$642.0 million
Settlement Amount: $642.0 million
Ladies and gentlemen, may I have the pleasure to wheel out one of the historic, jaw-dropping, and champagne-popping divorce settlements of the century, courtesy of fashionista turned legal mastermind, Pauline Chai. Our protagonist recently reached the final round of a money-flinging match with her ex-husband Dr. Khoo Kay Peng, renowned business mogul. Spoiler alert: She claimed the prize, and we're not talking chump change.
Pauline's account balance jumped, flipped, and somersaulted a good SGD 642 million (dazzled yet?) faster than you could pronunciation their last names correctly! After the lengthy legal wrangle which would have put many of Hollywood's dramas to shame, the divorce headlines screamed: Pauline Chai SHE-WHO-WON-YES.
Adorned with the boons of the courts, Pauline might have scrawled onto her Twitter status in green neon, "Side effects of marriage may lead to insomnia from counting too many million-dollar bills." Keep walking on primrose path, folks! If love doesn't exist, at least there appears to be a rather rewarding consolation in the courts these days - never a dull day in the life and love of Pauline Chai.
