For richer or poorer? NOLA OJOMU reveals the most expensive celebrity divorces EVER – from Bill Gates’ $76 million split to Steven Spielberg’s $100 million settlement

Microsoft founder Bill Gates, golf icon Tiger Woods and Hollywood superstar Mel Gibson have all made headlines over the years thanks to their very expensive divorces.

It has always been known that celebrity splits end up costing more money than most people could ever make in their lives.

But even for the wealthy, settlement costs are overwhelming in some cases, landing them on the list of the most expensive divorces to date.

Hollywood stars are all too familiar with high divorce costs: Iconic director Steven Spielberg paid $100 million to his ex-wife Amy Irving when they separated in 1989.

Meanwhile, when Braveheart star Mel Gibson split from his ex-wife Robyn Moore in 2011, she walked away with $425 million.

It’s not surprising that sports stars are just as likely to hand over large amounts of cash when they make time for their weddings.

NBA legend Michael Jordan eventually paid $168 million to his first wife, Juanita, in 2006.

Elsewhere, golf superstar Tiger coughed up $100 million following his messy divorce from ex-wife Elin Nordegren in 2010.

But when it comes to big money, it’s tech founders like Bill and Jeff Bezos who have had to spend billions.
