Madonna is paying her ex-husband Guy Ritchie between $76 and $92 million, according to the 50-year-old singer’s spokeswoman Liz Rosenberg.
Rosenberg tells Associated Press that the figure includes the value of their home in Western England and the couple’s London pub, “The Punchbowl”. “I’d assume it’s one of the largest payouts ever in a divorce settlement,” Rosenberg adds to the AP.
Although the financial details have been settled, the custodial arrangements for their children has yet to be completed.
Madonna filed for divorce citing “unreasonable behavior” and was granted a quick divorce on November 21 at the High Court of London. This financial deal will probably outrank the highly-publicized $60 million that Sir Paul McCartney paid his ex-wife Heather Mills. The Madonna-Ritchie divorce will rank fourth on the list of highest divorce payouts, just after Neil Diamond and Michael Jordan’s $150 million payout and Steven Spielberg’s $100 million divorce settlement.
…and I thought Guy Ritchie didn’t want a cent from Madonna. Lucky guy.
Meanwhile, Madonna doesn’t seem to be minding that her purse will be a little lighter as she took her kids – Lourdes, 12, Rocco, eight, and David, three, for a ride around Buenos Aires’ famous Tigre Delta rivers in Argentina. Check out the photos below…
