Top 5 Most Expensive Divorce Settlements in History: Divorces are something heavy and emotional, and it is tongue-biting for the ultra-rich when their divorce settlements cross huge amounts. The most paid divorce settlements in history add up to billions and run parallel to net worths, lengths of marriages, and prenups. Rumors swirl about Andy Byron, one-time CEO of data company Astronomer and now said to be potentially facing divorce from the wife Megan Kerrigan. The next billionaire breakup could be on the headline.
After 27 years of marriage, Melinda received an estimated $76 billion-one of the largest divorce settlements ever recorded.
Amazon’s founder paid $38 billion to MacKenzie Scott, making her one of the richest women in the world.
The couple involved in art dealing ended up with $3.8 billion for Jocelyn after their divorce.
Media mogul Rupert Murdoch settled for $1.7 billion with his first wife, Anna.
The Dubai ruler reportedly settled for $728 million in what is among the most expensive divorces in the UK.
The so-called “kiss cam saga”, which went crazy and viral online, has raised the possibility of marital infidelity for Byron. Now, if Megan Kerrigan files for divorce, she reportedly stands to walk away with millions, perhaps contending for historic divorce settlements-especially if no prenup is in place. Experts put estimates as high as approaching Jeff Bezos’s $38 billion payout.
