About Wendy McCaw

Talk about breakups being hard - they sure can't compete with the sums floating around the McCaw divorce! Wendy McCaw's split from billionaire hubby Craig has made it into our golden annals of the most expensive divorce settlements ever. With a jaw-dropping sum of $460,000,000 on the line, this contest of love wasn't just between two hearts, but at the tally board of high-power attorneys and dwindling bank balances.

From boardrooms to courtrooms … let people say what they want about romance, but that sure took "putting a price tag on love" to an entirely new extravagant level. And for those keeping count, Wendy walked away not just with newfound singlehood, but with a golden parachute large enough that she could personify Scrooge McDuck joyfully bathe in her net proceeds. Remember, in this game of love and war, all is fair – especially if there's nearly half a billion involved!

So all you lovebirds still stuck at "financially-struggling-hamburger-date phase", take it from Wendy - there can be a lavish high-stakes finale yet, concocted out of the juicy woes and blush of romance and it’s a foul demise. In summary folks, make sure you put as much thought into your prenup as you did in selecting your wine on that first date. Because while love might not conquer all, a robust legal contract surely will help you land on your feet, swimming against incoming tidal waves of emotion in your very own cash filled penthouse.
