The most expensive divorces in celeb-dom

divorce

Hollywood actors Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner have confirmed that they will end their 10-year marriage with a $150 million (over '956 crore) divorce. And while that is a heavy price to pay for love lost, it isn't the most expensive deal to be inked in the world of celebrity divorces.


Celebs across the world have doled out huge amounts as settlements to end their marriage. Here are a few of the most expensive celeb divorce payouts.



According to indiatimes, Mel Gibson and RobynDenise Moore - Divorce deal: $425 million In 2011, Mel Gibson divorced Robyn Denise Moore, his wife of 31 years. The divorce left him poorer by $425 million, which was almost half of the actor's $850 million fortune! That has to be one of the most expensive celebrity divorce payouts in Hollywood history.







Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver - Divorce deal: $250-375 million

The former California Governor split with wife Maria Shriver after 25 years of marriage. While the couple never made public the exact settlement amount after their divorce in 2011, it is estimated that he paid between $250 and $375 million.







Michael and Juanita Jordan - Divorce deal: $168 million

NBA star Michael Jordan made another record which he would not be too proud of - the $168 million divorce in 2007 with his wife of 18 years, Juanita. She also got their seven-acre estate in Chicago, as well as custody of their three kids.







Neil Diamond and Marcia Murphey - Divorce deal: $150 million

Steven Spielberg and Amy Irving - Divorce deal: $100 million

Amy Irving's post-divorce bounty, $100 million, awarded in 1989, still ranks as one of the most expensive celeb divorces. Although they signed a prenup agreement, Irving had it nullified, as it was written on a napkin and without legal representation.







Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren - Divorce deal: $110 million

Golfer Tiger Woods' much- talked-about divorce in 2010 with Elin Nordegren finally cost the former $110 million, after several reports doing the rounds that the payout could be as high as $750 million. The actual amount is touted to be only about one-sixth of the golfer's net worth.
