This piece of news is hitting the media around the globe - one of the richest celeb divorces - yes, you may have guessed it - it’s the divorce settlement of Paul McCartney and ex wife, Heather Mills. But the 50 mil is nothing compared to basketball legend Michael Jordan and the box-office’s most popular producer, Steven Spielberg and their exes. I suppose it’s hard for these exes to live without these huge money settlements since they have been so used to that glam and luxurious living. In case you are keen, here are some more rich celeb divorce stats which leave you in the know of some wealthy divorcees around:

Harrison Ford and Melissa Mathison (estimated $85 million, in 2004); Kevin Costner and Cindy Silva ($80 million, in 1994); McCartney and Mills; Titanic director James Cameron and actress Linda Hamilton (also $50 million, in 1999); Michael Douglas and first wife Diandra ($45 million, in 1998); Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall ($15 to $25 million); and Lionel Richie and his second wife, Diane ($20 million, in 2004). I wonder what do these divorcees do with their money.. maybe they had invested in one of those Branson homes for sale for their vacation break :P
