We have gotten introduced to many adorable high-profile couples over the years, and while a good number of them had a long-lasting marriage, many of them failed and had to get a divorce. Unfortunately, things can get pretty complicated when you’re wealthy.

You and your ex-partner have to divide your fortune equally unless you signed a prenuptial agreement. Let’s look at some of the most notable ex-couples who got slapped with a massive settlement when they decided to put an end to their union. We’re sure the sums you’ll see here will make your jaw drop!

Kenny Rogers & Marianne Rogers – Settlement: Reported $60 Million

Kenny Rogers was a well-known country singer who also experienced success as a businessman. He had five marriages in his lifetime, one of whom was with actress Marianne Gordon. She was his fourth wife, and they were married from 1977 until 1993.

They enjoyed their time together while it lasted, and the best product of their love was their one and only child. Since Rogers was a multi-millionaire, he reportedly paid her around $60 million in the settlement. He passed away due to natural causes in 2020, and he was married to Wanda Miller at that time.

Reba Mcentire & Narvel Blackstock – Settlement: Reported $47.5 Million

Reba McEntire fell in love with music ever since she was a young girl, and she later established herself as a bestselling country star. Narvel Blackstock managed her, and it looks like the two ultimately fell in love. They tied the knot in 1989, but by 2015, they had already decided to call it quits.

The former couple shares a son, and she also became the stepmom to his three kids. Once they finalized their divorce papers, she reportedly gave him around $47.5 million. McEntire is back to being off the market these days because she has been in a relationship with Rex Linn since 2020.

Miranda Lambert & Blake Shelton – Settlement: Undisclosed Amount

You might recall that country singers Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton were once a married couple. Their marriage lasted from 2011 to 2015. She expressed how much she wanted kids when they were newlyweds, but she later changed her views and said they didn’t want children while they peaked in their respective careers.

They kept details about the end of their union private, so no one knows how much their settlement cost. Lambert is now married to police officer Brendan McLoughlin, while Shelton tied the knot with his co-coach on The Voice, singer Gwen Stefani.

Jane Fonda & Richard Perry – Settlement: Never Married

Jane Fonda is a multi-awarded actress who had memorable performances in films like Klute and Coming Home. Unfortunately, she didn’t experience the same luck in her love life because her three marriages didn’t last. She also had relationships that didn’t reach a wedding, the one she had with music producer Richard Perry for example.

They never had children together, and they kept their reasons undisclosed. Her kids from her former relationships reportedly told her to break up with Perry when they found out she wasn’t happy anymore. Fonda is still an active actress today, and you can catch her on Grace and Frankie.

Mick Jagger & Jerry Hall – Settlement: Never Married Officially

Mick Jagger is well-known for being the frontman of The Rolling Stones. His rockstar status meant many women had eyes for him, but it didn’t stop him from settling down and tying the knot unofficially with model Jerry Hall in 1990. They later welcomed four kids together, but their so-called marriage ended in 1999.

She reportedly ended things because he cheated on her with Carla Bruni. Since they didn’t have any legal union, they didn’t have to worry about a settlement when they parted ways. Jagger has been dating Melanie Hamrick since 2014, but it’s unclear if he plans to marry her anytime soon.

Madonna & Guy Ritchie – Settlement: Reported $76 Million – $92 Million

Madonna is yet another successful woman who couldn’t find herself a lasting marriage. Guy Ritchie was her second ex-husband, and they were married for eight years. They had one biological son together, and then they adopted another baby from Malawi in 2006.

She ended up filing for divorce in 2008 due to irreconcilable differences, and reports say he took home between $76-92 million in the settlement. It looks like Madonna isn’t rushing to get married again, and she’s enjoying all the fun she’s having with her current boyfriend, Ahlamalik Williams.

Neil Diamond & Marcia Murphey – Settlement: Reported $150 Million

Neil Diamond made millions from his career as a singer, and some of his biggest hits were I’ve Been This Way Before and Song Sung Blue. Despite his wealth, he didn’t find the need to get a prenup when he tied the knot with Marcia Murphey. Their marriage lasted for 17 years, and they had two sons together.

He revealed that he caused their breakup, and even if they never disclosed the exact sum of their settlement, sources estimate it to be somewhere around $150 million. Neil’s life journey will get turned into a musical that will hit the stage in Boston sometime in 2022.

Mariah Carey & James Packer – Settlement: Never Married

Mariah Carey achieved mainstream stardom in the ’90s with her self-titled debut album, and people later started calling her the Songbird Supreme. In 2015, she entered a relationship with James Packer, a billionaire investor/businessman from Australia. He proposed to her in January 2016, but they called off the engagement later that year.

She mentioned in an interview that their relationship never became physical, so it’s no wonder that they never had kids together. In 2016, Carey began dating Bryan Tanaka, a choreographer, and they’ve remained a happy couple until today.

Lionel Richie & Diane Alexander – Settlement: Reported $20 Million

Lionel Richie had his first taste of fame with the Commodores before rising to fame as a solo artist in the ’80s. The most famous songs he released were You Are, My Love, and Truly. He was once married to Diane Alexander, the same woman his ex-wife Brenda Harvey caught him with back in 1988.

Their marriage lasted for nine years, and they have two kids together. Alexander had the last laugh when they ended things because she received around $20 million from the settlement. Richie remains famous today, mainly because he has been a judge on American Idol since 2018.

Adele & Simon Konecki – Settlement: Reported $90 Million

Many of you first heard of Adele when she released her first album titled 19 in 2008. It propelled her into fame, and she has won six Grammy Awards so far. She always sings about love, and it looks like she will have more inspiration to write heartbreak songs because she and Simon Konecki divorced in 2021.

They didn’t go public with monetary details, but reports suggest he could get as much as $90 million. The ex-couple has one son who was born four years before they became a married couple. Adele has a new album in the works, but she hasn’t announced its release date yet.

Phil Collins & Orianne Cevey – Settlement: Reported $46.7 Million

Phil Collins had a fruitful career with his band named Genesis. They had tours in different countries, and during one of their tour dates in Switzerland during the ’90s, he crossed paths with Orianne Cevey. Sources say that she worked as his translator at that time.

They got married in 1999 and have two kids together. In 2006, they got divorced, and the money she walked away with reportedly reached a whopping $46.7 million. Collins and Cevey reconciled in 2016, but he ended it for good in 2020 when he discovered she had a secret husband.

Marc Anthony & Shannon De Lima – Settlement: Reported $10k/Month Over 3 Years

Marc Anthony didn’t only have the looks; he also had the golden voice to match it. He’s a successful singer who won six Latin Grammy Awards and three Grammy Awards. Unfortunately, he experienced three failed marriages in his life, and his most recent ex-wife was Shannon De Lima.

They were married from 2014 until 2017, and they never had kids. The former couple never explained why they didn’t try to get pregnant, but he already knows how it is to be a dad since he has six other children from his past relationships. In the settlement, De Lima got awarded around $360K.

Wissam Al Mana & Janet Jackson – Settlement: Reported $100 – 200 Million

Janet Jackson is the equally talented sister of the late Michael Jackson, and she also became a famous performer. She met Wissam Al Mana, a businessman, in 2010. The two fell hard for each other almost immediately. They welcomed a child in 2017, but they separated three months after he was born.

As of today, they haven’t finalized things yet, but their settlement could range from $100-200 million. Jackson remains thriving in her career, and her most recent album is called Black Diamond. Reports say she has an upcoming two-part documentary titled Janet. 

Matt Lauer & Annette Roque – Settlement: Reported $20 Million

The world got to know of Matt Lauer because he served as a longtime host of Today on NBC. However, in 2017, he became famous for something else entirely after getting fired from the show due to accusations of inappropriate behavior. Two years later, Annette Roque, his wife of 21 years, divorced him.

Roque confessed that the divorce was a long time coming due to Lauer’s notorious behavior. It was revealed that he paid her a sum of $20 million as a settlement while they both agreed on joint custody of their children. Since his abrupt exit from NBC, Lauer hasn’t had much luck in terms of work.

Mel Gibson & Robyn Moore – Settlement: Reported $425 Million

Before Mel Gibson became famous for starring in Mad Max and Lethal Weapon, he was a struggling actor in the ’70s. During that period, he met Robyn Moore, who was a dental nurse then. The pair married in 1980, but unfortunately, they separated in 2006 due to Gibson’s unfaithfulness and controversial reputation. Their divorce was finalized in 2011.

Moore’s settlement was reportedly worth a massive $425 million, half of her ex-husband’s fortune. Gibson found a way to get back on track after the incident. He is currently involved with at least nine upcoming movies, including Panama and Last Looks.

Elin Nordegren & Tiger Woods – Settlement: Reported $100 Million

Tiger Woods’ separation from Elin Nordegren was one of the most famous in history. The man whom some call the world’s greatest golfer admitted to multiple accounts of unfaithfulness in 2009. This subsequently led to a breakdown of his career and marriage.

His ex, Nordegren, walked away with $100 million from the divorce settlement in 2010. While the two agreed on child custody, she also received $20,000 in child support. Woods has since bounced back from the career setback. However, he has taken a break from golfing in 2021 due to complications.

Michael Douglas & Diandra Luker – Settlement: Reported $45 Million

Academy Award-winning actor Michael Douglas is famous for his role in movies like Romancing the Stone and Fatal Attraction.

She received up to $45 million and some real estate as part of the settlement. Douglas, meanwhile, has married Catherine Zeta-Jones since then and is now enjoying a fruitful career. His most famous role in recent years is that of Dr. Hank Pym in the Marvel franchise. He’ll be reprising it in the upcoming Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.

Arnold Schwarzenegger & Maria Shriver – Settlement: Reported $200 Million

Even movie stars like Arnold Schwarzenegger have made their own personal mistakes. Before he married Maria Shriver in 1986, The Terminator star had been in several failed relationships. His marriage to Shriver didn’t last, too, and she ended up filing for divorce in 2011.

The split still hasn’t been finalized, but in such an event, Shriver would walk away with half of the reported $400 million fortune she shared with her ex due to the lack of a prenup agreement. Despite his less-than-perfect personal life, Schwarzenegger’s career has been glorious. He’s still going strong at age 74 and is part of Kung Fury 2, releasing in 2022.

Harrison Ford & Melissa Mathison – Settlement: Reported $85 Million

It was only recently, in 2020, that Meyer filed for divorce. There has been no news as to their settlement or if there will be any financial disputes, but Meyer has reportedly requested joint custody of their children. Maguire has kept things lowkey as usual, and he’s currently filming Babylon, scheduled to hit theaters in 2022.

Hulk Hogan & Linda Hogan – Settlement: Reported $31 Million

Many people have called him the world’s most famous wrestler. However, to his ex, Hulk Hogan was a lover and a lifetime partner—at least he was supposed to be. In 2007, Linda filed for divorce from Hogan. She later explained that she had to because she thought Hogan was unfaithful.

The breakup was drastic for Hogan, as his ex-wife walked away with over 70% of their assets and managed to pocket $31 million. Fortunately, the WWE superstar seems to have recovered and gotten back to doing what he does best. He appeared in WrestleMania 37 in 2021.

Jeff Bezos & Mackenzie Bezos – Settlement: Reported $38 Billion

Jeff Bezos’ breakup from his ex-wife Mackenzie was one of the biggest news of 2019. It also became the biggest divorce settlement in history when Mackenzie received 25% of Bezos’ Amazon assets. The assets amounted to a whopping estimate of $38 billion.

Despite losing so much cash in the split, Bezos is still the world’s richest man. The Amazon founder has moved on to other things since stepping down as CEO of the company in 2021. Noticeably he’s been more focused recently on his aerospace company Blue Origin. In July 2021, he became a major talking point when he flew to space courtesy of Blue Origin.

Ted Danson & Casey Coates – Settlement: Reported $30 Million

The world got to know Ted Danson through the sitcom Cheers. For most of the ’80s, he was a famous movie star living a glamorous life.

True to Schwimmer’s secretive nature, the separation was very private, and there have been no confirmations as to whether Buckman received any payout. We do know that he still has an ongoing role in the series Intelligence.

Chris Pratt & Anna Faris – Settlement: Reported $0

These two Hollywood heartthrobs seemed perfect for each other when they started dating in 2007. They met on the set of the movie Take Me Home Tonight as co-stars. To fans’ disappointment, their seemingly perfect love story was not to last as they split in 2017.

Their divorce in 2018 was harmonious, as both parties agreed on joint custody. They also declined to share any financial support as they had signed a prenup before the marriage. Both movie stars are moving on with their lives, with Pratt expected to star in anticipated blockbusters like Thor: Love and Thunder while Faris will be in Summer Madness.

Olivia Wilde & Tao Ruspoli – Settlement: Undisclosed Amount

Instead of fairytale movies, Olivia Wilde acted in action hits like Tron: Legacy and Cowboys & Aliens. But unlike many movie stars, she got to date a real-life prince.

Contrary to what some think, the couple never finalized their expensive breakup. If they went through it, the settlement could amount to a large sum of money: at least a reported $200 million. Based on recent reports, they look happy and united as Stiller prepares to start production of the upcoming series High Desert.

Kevin Costner & Cindy Silva – Settlement: Reported $80 Million

Kevin Costner has had a prosperous Hollywood career, winning several awards and starring in movies like The Bodyguard and Waterworld. However, his career success took its toll on his first marriage. According to reports, Costner’s first wife, Cindy Silva, felt threatened by his alluring roles, so she gave him an ultimatum to stop taking those roles or end his movie career.

It seems the Oscar winner chose his career instead as the couple got divorced in 1994. The payout from Costner’s earnings was worth a reported $80 million. That wasn’t enough to wreck the Man of Steel actor, who recently had an uncredited voice role in Zack Snyder’s Justice League.

Steven Spielberg & Amy Irving – Settlement: Reported $100 Million

We all know Steven Spielberg as the director of massive blockbusters like Jaws, Jurassic Park, and the Indiana Jones franchise. For a while, the love of his life was the actress Amy Irving. That was until the two divorced in 1989 after four years of marriage. Spielberg did try to protect his assets by making Irving sign a prenuptial agreement written on toilet paper.

But the judge who oversaw their divorce refused to recognize the agreement and awarded Irving a settlement of $100 million, as per Forbes. Spielberg is probably set to make double that amount with upcoming movies like Indiana Jones 5 and Jurassic World: Dominion on his agenda.
