Woman to get $184 MILLION in Divorce

I would give you 1 cent. Wanna marry? ;)

No thanks. I'm not marrying anyone. I'm not giving anyone half of what I worked my whole life for. Not one red cent.

Marriage is fine for people who want it--especially if they plan to have children. I have chosen not to. I don't need marriage for companionship. I have more than enough of that.;)

In the case where a woman gives up a lucritive career for raising good children then yes, she deserves more. But no one deserves half of what that man made. Unless they were partners and she did half the work. That woman deserves all of her gallery money/assests (unless HE got her set up in it) plus a settlement. But $184M. No way.

I have seen so many rich people get wiped out from divorces from greedy spouses who did nothing but leech.:(
 
Maybe some freak twinky in her 20s marrying an 80 year old and divorcing a few years later (that usually isn't even necessary :D ).... then yeah, THAT would be leeching. Not in this case, though, as it has been proven.

He's not worth $450M. He sold a company for $450M. He reinvested in another company. His net worth at the time of the settlement was $368M.
 
Sold in 2000. Do you think his net worth is still $450 M? Or maybe more? :rolleyes:
 
OK you are making a lot of assumptions here without a lot of facts. You have no facts about what she put into their joint situation that allowed him to be able to be that successful. If you want to gripe about something worth griping about why not choose the topic of why so many women and children live in poverty in the world, while men control the bulk of the wealth.
 
Welcome to sciforums, a place of weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Well... sort of... :)

They live in poverty because the woman made a stupid choice. She may have married/had children without being self-made first. She should NEVER count on a man, any man, to take care of her. She needs to be independent and have her own wealth. No one should ever have a child they cannot afford to raise alone.
 
Yes, as Sandy says: Never count on any man, especially if that man is God or Bush. Sometimes these responses just write themselves.

And some people started out so poor they didn't have choices.
So should everyone, but we can't all be that lucky.

Independence and wealth have little to do with luck. You work smart/hard, you have goals and ambition, you succeed. It isn't that hard. Only hard to imagine for most liberals.:rolleyes:
 
Are some of those liberals in your box in this box?

I'm sure GWB and Paris Hilton are prime examples of that...:rolleyes:

Oh... and ever considered barriers to wealth? :rolleyes:

Really? And what about the general situation?
I had the best part of six years out of work because I was over-qualified.
No one would hire me. So how could I work smart or hard?
