Mel Gibson's Ex Wife Takes Half His Estimated $850 Million in Divorce Settlement

[ryantatarniuk]

Mel Gibson is now legally single after his divorce was finalized Friday in a Los Angeles courtroom, but bachelorhood came at a heavy price.

Robyn, his ex-wife of nearly 30 years and the mother of their seven children, is walking away with half his fortune, once estimated to be as high as $850 million (according to the Los Angeles Business Journal in 2006) in what is considered the biggest divorce payout in Hollywood history.

Because the couple didn't have a prenuptial agreement, Robyn, 55, was legally entitled to half of everything he earned during their marriage.

Among Gibson's estimated assets: more than $600 million grossed by The Passion of the Christ alone; $100-plus million in real estate investments worldwide (he bought an island in Fiji for $15 million in 2005); and $75 million for film and TV projects for which Gibson, 55, executive produced.

[GabrielNovar]

Deze hoes ain't loyale!


No way I could ever take half if I wasn't the bread winner in the family. Would leave without a dime, if my partner wanted to give me something then so be it.

[YIAMSOMEBODY]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but he cheated.....numerous times, as well as multiple stints with the law and other things that put a strain on their marriage and family life, right?

Seems fair. She stuck with his ass for 30 years. Gave him 7 kids.

She's not wrong here, he is.

[Milone79]

murica...how the fawk she get half??? how many movies did she help make???

[alwaysnever]

Thank god I don't really have much money. ...

[Hesher]

I seem to recall that he left her....

He knew the price.

I suspect that alcohol played a role here in his decision making, and that he quite simply dun goofed.

WHAT??


She did NOT earn ANY of that money.

[TriggerWarning]

in for his next drunken rant after having to deal with this he might snap.

[ljusmc1371]

Id be rustled any other time but Mel Gibson has proved himself to be a piece of chit so HAHA, fuk em!

[eXistenceLies]

Damn he is only 55? He looked so old in Expendables 3. Seriously thought he was more Arnold's age in his late 60's.

I don't know man, half seems excessive, How about a quarter of $850 mil, still an azzload of money

[supbrahmirin]

marriage of peace

fukin cringe hard @ anyone still getting married in this day and age dead srs

[ace_gauntlit]

[Tuga88]

Absolutely ridiculous. What a joke.

I hope every young male is watching and learning from all of these guys (Gibson, Woods etc.) and seeing this as a major warning to either never get married or if you do sign a prenup. If we see any thing like this happening in the next 10-30 years then those guys have only themselves to blame.

[b0yer2]

WHAT??


She did NOT earn ANY of that money.

She still is the mother of 7 children. 7 college educations and 30 years of marriage.

If HE cheated and is the cause of the marriage not working, then she is entitled to something. Yeah she didn't make any of the movies, but she mothered his children.

WHAT??

It's not her fault though. It's the way the system works.

Bro if you think that money equates to taking care of 7 kids + college + marriage you are WAY far off.

Entitled to something yes, we are talking WAY more than required. She took him to the cleaners.

i know you're old, but you dont have to be a completely washed up pussy

[australiasbrain]

[EoR]

30 years she deserves it? You know pretty much any woman if told they just had to be someone for 30 years and receive 425million, would do it. What about he was with her for 30 years too? He's an idiot though for all the stupid **** he has done. Both of them were probably banging other people 5 years into the marriage.

[thehotspitta]

guess that 30 year tax break was worth it

[MnB91]

johnny depp doin it right. he aint married

Which millions of women do for a lot less with no hoper husbands

[Hesher]

WHAT??

Actually, you'd be amazed at the importance that the behind the scenes spouses play. It's highly likely that she helped keep him sane enough to have a career.

You'll note that Tom Cruise started acting crazy after he and Nicole Kidman broke up.

I agree with this instance. She definitely deserved quite a bit in this case, but still... that's much more than enough.

[P3nguin]

There was no pre nup
He left her
He knew what was coming

She was entitled to 1/2 of everything that was earned during the 30 years.
Just because it was millions doesnt make it any different from the average joe.
