    I keep starting to feel bad for the guy... then I remember he still has assets exceeding $100 million.

    As others have already said, cry for struggling lower- and middle-class husbands, not this guy.

    I don't see a problem with this verdict. Like MadMax said, they were married for a long time and were together from the very beginning. I make a lot more money than my wife but I can tell you I would not be if it weren't for her. She pushed me to be where I am now. Was a total bum in college when she met me. If we ever split ways she's totally entitled to half.

    i can tell you this much
    i will marry just once
    and if it doesn't work out
    give her half of my stuff
    it's fine with me
    we said eternally

    Master- you're absolutely right...my perspective is colored by my experience. but i still think you go in to a marriage pretty much realizing that what you earn tin the context of your marriage is yours equally provided you don't have a contract stating otherwise. right??

    Yeah, that MadMax is one of the most abrasive and divisive posters on this board.

    What's sad is I was buying a bunch of books on Amazon.com the other day and there are books on there for women with the topic of "how to find a rich guy". Sweet. :D

    totally me

    before her, I was shiftless, living day to day for the thrill of living that day.

    I never expected to live long, so didnt much care for longterm plans.

    That I am in the position I am in now(living comfortably) is totally because of my wife....



    as far as the original post...the marriage started equal, it ends equal.

    You all realize nowadays it's pretty much more risks to getting married than ever.

    There is almost no incentive for you to get married...whether you rich, poor, middle class, regardless of race, religion or whatever.

    If you get married and you are rich or become rich you are likely to lose at least 25% - 60% of your assets along with the custody of the kids.

    If you're poor or middle class, you will need a steady income and very little debt to avoid a costly hitting divorce.

    Now some of you see why some people don't get married it cost too much.

    But there are many ways to keep from losing money over the period of timing through personal savings, seperate banking accounts (multiple), acquiring assets before marriage, money wiring, trust funds, and etc.

    If it's all about economics, then some of you have been approaching marriage the wrong way.

    There's a single woman out there with $184M in the bank. Go get her!

    And if the hubby had a good prenup I guess he might be $250 and one suitcase ahead??? 30 years. From poor to rich. Don't see what's so outrageous here.
