The Largest Celebrity Divorces

The Cost of Love

First we told you that Guy Ritchie stood to make $100 million plus from his divorce with Madonna. Then came word that, no, Ritchie wants "not one penny" of Madge's fortune. But if that's true, then why has Madonna acquired the services of Fiona Shackleton, Britain's shrewdest divorce attorney?

Today, new information about the still unfolding drama says that not only is Ritchie going after Madge's millions, under British law, he stands to see about 250 of them. If he's successful, his would be the most expensive celebrity divorce in recent history.

After the jump, some more ungodly settlements.

Christ. 250 mil isn't nearly enough. He had to have sex with her, and you know that screwing Madonna is like sticking your dick into a bucket of dry ice.

"…under British law, he stands to see about 250 of them."

If you remove all the zeros from that figure, you'll ballpark what I ended up with after my divorce.

You really don't need to marry well. You just need to divorce well. Damn me for marrying a poor college student for love. I'm just hanging on till he makes a couple of million then I'm out.

No. 4 Bryn Turner says:

Hotel Preston in Nashville, TN has just the thing for A-list celebrities who have decided to call it quits.

The “I Do. I Did. I’m Done.” Package
At Hotel Preston, we offer a little something for everyone. And with nearly 50 percent of all marriages ending in divorce, we want to help make this tough time a bit easier.

· One hour consultation with family lawyer of your choice. (They will be provided with a list of three attorneys to choose from.)

· Conference room for mediation

· Separate rooms on opposite ends of the hotel

· Added deposit for damage

· Ooey Gooey Love Package can be added for one last good time

Celebrities could certainly benefit from something like this. Perhaps Madonna could even invite A-Rod for the Ooey Gooey Love Package instead of Guy Ritchie!!

If you have any questions, email me with the information listed below.
