Number of Divorces: 1
Settlements: +$425.0 million
Settlement Amount: $425.0 million
There are break-ups where you split the artwork and take the dog, and then there are divorces where you end up waving goodbye to a considerable chunk of your small wealth. And then there's the grand theatrics of Hollywood splits. Case in point, that of actress Robyn Moore Gibson's divorce from Hollywood star Mel Gibson.
Ladies and gentlemen, this was not just a parting of ways; it was more like a significant net worth slice up but, probably not for Mr. Gibson. Robyn ended up tossing half of his fortune into her purse, summarily making it one of the most expensive settlements known to the celeb-scandal industry. In the end, Mrs. Gibson definitely walked out a winner, liberally $425,000,000 richer and still flashing a charming smile.
Picture that... literally play out Braveheart, Mad Max, and Passion of the Christ and among other Hollywood hits, only to unknowingly start building your better half's gigantic stack of $425,000,000. To say it lightly, it's losing half the "Lethal Weapon" to love, isn't it? Ladies, the next time you need a shining example of profiting from a heartbreak, you now have Moore insights from Mel's case. Gents, adhere stylistically to a lifestyle that allows comfortably for a successful Hollywood career but sternly says, "A gold-digging ‘NO’ down by Moore street", too.
