Holyshit. How would you like to give your ex half of 1 billion

LOL that is what I was about to say...

And yes, I agree w/your last comment too. Lotta people either go into a marriage under false pretenses (especially when there is financial gain. I hardly think that ANYONE would *just hang around for 28 years waiting to get paid*) or they go apeshit crazy w/vengence once the relationship fails.

I don't think that there is one person posting on elite who doesn't know of someone personally that either got hung out financially or had their kids drug through hell (OR BOTH) when the marriage became rocky.

It's sad when people continue to hold onto negativity just because their affection is no longer returned. Once it is over, better for all parties to move on and move ahead to better things, no?

Your right......

And Oprah is gay so...........................................

Apparently Oprah was abused and sexually molested as a kid.

OK, by doing the math I came up with this.....

1 billion
-500 million
=500 million

lol.... He is right..I think thats from his Delirious album.

OK, so she mothered SEVEN of his children and gave him 28 years of her life but there is something wrong with her getting HALF?

You guys are shitting me... right?

So you are saying that without her, he would never have ammassed that kind of fortune? Even though HE is the one who worked for it, but because she was at home "supporting" him while he was making that money, she deserves half of it. So her role in him making that fortune is equal to 1/2 a billion dollars?
Well if that's true, then why doesn't EVERY woman who gets a divorce just get 1/2 a billion dollars, regardless of how much money her husband made. Apparently that's what their role is worth.
Actually her role was probably worth a lot less than the regular working class housewife because I'm willing to bet that they probably had a maid to do all the cleaning, a cook to do all the cooking, and a nanny to take care of the kids. So in reality, her role in the marriage was to help spend the money, not make it.

So the 28 years of lavish lifestyle that he gave her is worth nothing?

Obviously you have never been in a loving supportive committed relationship.

If you broke it down dollar for dollar what a supportive loving wife does for her husband she would get MORE THAN HALF.

28 of her life that she could have spent with ANY OTHER successfull man that DID NOT fuck up the relationship = INVALUABLE.

Lotta very successfull, handsome men in longterm committed relationships:

Paul Newman (used to BRAG about his faithfulness to his wife)

Sean Connery (been married to wife number 20 for 20+ years)

Pierce Brosnan - have you seen his wife?

My husband made obscene amounts of money before he met me. His most expensive divorce didn't cost him half BILLION but it was in the tens of MILLIONS. I met him he was still doin waaaaaaay ok financially. I married him when he had his BARE ASS and EVERYDAMNEDBODY who *was his buddy and pal* when he was rolling in the dough all of the sudden weren't returning his calls and were no longer interested in *doing projects with him*.

Whatever money we made - we made TOGETHER - though obviously if it weren't for my husband's mentoring I would not have learned all I did and he did MOST of the work... while me and my family backed his ass.

I could have chosen another man who WAS NOT a broke dick dog, going through THE WORST EXPERIENCE IN HIS LIFE... but then again, none of those men gave a damn REALLY about me going through the WORST EXPERIENCE OF MINE.

See... it goes BOTH WAYS.

BOTH give 100% so when it ends both get HALF.

If you can't comprehend that then as I said when I started my post, you've obviously never been in a loving, long-term committed relationship.

PS - when I left my first marriage of 13 years - I walked away with 5K and my bare ass... nothing more. Now I make more money in a month than my ex makes in a year, but he still holds ALL the cards.

It's not about money. I sincerely hope that one day you will live what I am talking about.

You assume all 28 years were lavish, no struggle, no hardship, no difficulty.

Do not assume.

Think about Billy Bob Thornton or Cyrus of whatever the hell his name was. Was married to a beautiful woman, had three kids. She stuck by him for over 10 years of failure, by the time he finally won an academy award, it was a little too little, too late. She sent his ass packing because he didn't appreciate all the bullshit she went through faithfully, by his side, raising his kids.

Fuck ANYONE (male or female) that can't appreciate everything their spouse went through while they were out being *all that they could be*.
