$1 Billion
For 23 years, British billionaire Bernie Ecclestone was married to Slavica, an international model from Croatia. Despite having a 28-year age gap and a transparent language barrier at the outset of their relationship, the couple’s love remained strong for many years, during which time they had two children. The two, however, divorced since love (and money) weren’t enough to keep them together. In order to discuss the divorce settlement, they each hired a divorce lawyer in 2009. While all was going on, Slavica made off with $1 billion in cash.
