[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]$400m and she gets a $1m property settlement (.25%) is spite. It’s a terrible offer to a woman you’ve been with for 25 years and had 3 children with. Much of his estate was built over the course of their married life. A reasonable, non evil person would’ve quietly given her a minimum of $10m (still less than 5%) and avoided all the negative publicity. [/quote]

She deserves what she agreed to in the prenup.

A reasonable person honors that agreement and doesn’t ask for more.[/quote]

PP didn't use the word "deserve".  The point is that a man with a $400m estate should settle this matter with his partner of 25 years, mother of his 3 children, privately for a conscionable amount.  $1m of $400m after an 18 year marriage and 3 kids is unconscionable.  [/quote]

He did. They documented it and signed it.

Paying women to be mothers is a disgusting idea.

She got more of his money when they were partners. He gave her the greatest gift in the world 3 children and she never had to work and probably had Nannie’s. They have the best life/education/ etc

Marriage is not a profitable job the idea that women are paid to be wives and mothers is unconscionable.

19/25 amazing years.

Paying her more after the divorce is terrible practice.[/quote]

Obviously she left for cause - the economics and risk of leaving with that prenup are as bad as I've ever read about.  And people of such substantial means regularly transfer money to their partners when they leave, even gay couples who never had kids together often take care of the person they spent a significant part of their life with.  And in this case, they built a life together that doesn't work without her staying home with the kids.  He reportedly left for 4 months a time to film movies and tv series, and she stayed home with the kids.  Even if they had nannies, no person with a conscious leaves their kids home with only nannies for 4 months at a time.  I get that leaving half of all marital property to a partner who never worked no longer holds up, but this case is extreme.  He should settle and the settlement should include a meaningful property settlement to allow her to live comfortably.  [/quote]

[b]Nobody marries a movie star and thinks they are home all the time.[/b] 4 months is nothing

Nobody deserves 1/2 of a persons earning in or out of a marriage, people deserve enough to live. She got way more.

They settled on the agreement they both wrote and signed.

She’s a designer, go design [/quote]

I agree with the bolded -- that no one marries a movie star expecting them to be home all the time -- but since both of his wives have/had the same complaint, it sounds like he is really just never home. [/quote]
