$2.5 Billion
Jocelyn Parisse first met billionaire businessman Alec Wildenstein while she was a visitor at Kenya’s Ol Jogi Ranch. Jocelyn received $2.5 billion in addition to $100 million annually for 13 years as part of their massive divorce settlement after they were married in 1978 and divorced 21 years later. Media outlets covered their two-year divorce process extensively. The couple is well known for having undergone many plastic surgeries, particularly Jocelyn, who had catlike characteristics to fulfill Alec’s fantasies. The judge decided Jocelyn could not utilize the money for plastic surgery during the divorce settlement. He made a wise decision there.
$118 Million
Harrison Ford, the legendary actor, best known as Hans Solo from Indiana Jones, was married to his second wife, screenwriter Melissa Mathison, for 17 years before their union ended in 2004. Malcolm and Georgia, their two children, were born to the couple. Even though Harrison Ford has a net worth of over $240 million, their $118 million divorce deal seems a little high. We’re confident he’s recovered because five of his movies are among the top 30 highest-grossing movies.
$450 Million
Craig McCaw, the company’s founder, was able to sell McCaw Cellular to AT&T for approximately $12 billion. After 21 years of marriage, he and California newspaper publisher Wendy Petrak separated in 1995. This indicates that his marriage to Wendy Petrak wasn’t as successful. Given that she walked away from her divorce with $450 million, she must have had a persuasive divorce lawyer. With a net worth of over $1 billion, Craig is no longer among the 400 wealthiest Americans, but we somehow don’t feel too awful about it.
$25 Million
