The Most Expensive Celebrity Divorces
This is one list no celebrity would ever want to make it to, much less top.
Forbesreleased Thursday a top 10 list of the
costliest celebrity divorces ever
, and boy, just looking at the figures already made my right eye twitch.
And the top guy? No one else but basketball’s all-time top guy,
Michael Jordan
. His divorce from his wife of almost 18 years,
Juanita Vanoy
, is still pending, but Jordan could end up coughing up over $150 million to settle the whole thing.
Then there’s singer
Neil Diamond
, whose estimated $150 million settlement with ex-wife
Marcia Murphy
lands him in second place. The only other celebrity divorcee to shell out at least a hundred million bucks, and therefore merit third place, is director and producer
Steven Spielberg
, who paid
Amy Irving
approximately that amount so he can get it on with
Kate Capshaw
.
Rounding up the top ten are:
4.
Harrison Ford
- $85 million, to
Melissa Mathison
Kevin Costner
- $80 million, to
Cindy Silva
6.
Paul McCartney
- $60 million, to
Heather Mills
(pending)
7.
James Cameron
- $50 million, to
Linda Hamilton
8.
Michael Douglas
- $45 million, to first wife
Diandra 9.
Lionel Richie
- $20 million, to second wife
Diane 10.
Mick Jagger
- $15-25 million, to
Jerry Hall
I’ve got one word for these poor rich guys: PRENUP!

[…] Now here’s Ford’s chance to top Michael Jordan in Forbes Magazine’s list of the most expensive celebrity divorces. The estimated $85 million he paid second wife Melissa Mathison only got him to fourth place. Nobody tops Indy and gets away with it. […]
