Forbes: Jordan Divorce Most Costly Ever
By Associated Press
April 14, 2007, 1:46 AM EDT
NEW YORK -- Divorce has its price -- and no celeb, it appears, knows that better than Michael Jordan. The basketball superstar's split last December from his wife of 17 years, Juanita, is No. 1 on Forbes.com's list of "The 10 Most Expensive Celebrity Divorces."
Juanita Jordan could possibly "get more than $150 million in a settlement, making the Jordan divorce the most expensive in entertainment history," Forbes said.
Neil Diamond, whose 1995 divorce from Marcia Murphey cost him an estimated $150 million, holds second place.
Steven Spielberg comes in third for paying his ex-wife Amy Irving an estimated $100 million, which was then half his fortune, when they divorced in 1989. The Oscar-winning director is now worth $3 billion.
Also making the list are estimated settlements between Harrison Ford and Melissa Mathison ($85 million); Kevin Costner and Cindy Silva ($80 million); Paul McCartney and Heather Mills, whose divorce could cost him more than $60 million; James Cameron and Linda Hamilton ($50 million); Michael and Diandra Douglas ($45 million and two homes); Lionel and Diane Richie ($20 million); and Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall ($15 to $25 million).
Forbes said they researched divorces of the last 25 years in compiling the list, which was posted Thursday on its Web site.
The results are also the subject of a one-hour special to air Saturday (6 p.m. EDT) on the E! Entertainment Network.

Happy to see it all going to a BLACK woman (from CHICAGO) and not some Becky, which is what OFTEN happens when rich Black jocks divorce. |

You all are talking like she just sat up and collected money for nothing. She supported him during their marriage, raised children and took care of the home and other things so that he would have the freedom to work and not have to worry about all of that stuff. This isn't so much her getting HIS money as it is getting her SHARE.
Of course I would think differently if she were the type to have a nanny, maid, and cook, sent the children away to summer camp AND boarding school, never let her hand touch a dirty diaper or pan, etc., so she could go shopping. But for some reason, I don't think she's that type of person. |

Renata,
No one one here has suggested Juanita's gotten something she did not deserve.
Did she herself EARN the wealth? No. Mike did.
But they were married and she's entitled to receive a fairshare of the wealth accumulated during the marriage. |

For your sake, I hope Juanita doesn't hook up with a fione white man to spend her divorce settlement money with. I think you'd have some problems.
LMAO!

Moonsigns,
Not really. Besides. Now that she's Mike's ex, foks won't be paying enuff attention to what she's doing to know or care who's boning and spending her money on. |
