[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Friend was an early software engineer at Google. Moved to CA after college with his girlfriend, and they eventually got married. When Google went public in 2004, he became instantly wealthy, ~$28M. Due to his insane work schedule, he got divorced 2 years later, and she took $14M.

If you think that is reasonable, you don't need a prenup. If you think that is unjust, then get a prenup.

This is a great example of a values litmus test.

Here I think what's unreasonable is that you would divorce somebody you loved for not seeing them very much.

The millions seem more like a windfall/luck and neither would be harmed by splitting up $28M into $14M.  I don't think they needed a prenup.

Elon Musk's first wife wrote an article about her life as Elon's first wife.  She found the prenup process/pressure from his investors very ugly and upsetting.  She was put under a lot of pressure from people who were more concerned about their financial investment in the company than the health of her marriage.

And as we now see, no amount of money makes up for choosing a toxic spouse.  The impact on her kids' lives is permanent.  They literally find out about new siblings randomly from social media.
