Cevey received an estimated $47 million as part of her divorce settlement. Not too shabby.

James Cameron and Linda Hamilton
Huffpost
Their marriage sank as quickly as the Titanic. Just 18 months after marriage, Hamilton took HALF of Cameron’s $100 million earnings from the Oscar-winning film. “I’ll never let go,” Kate Winslet’s character whispers to the most handsome corpse at the end of Titanic. Never let go until you get the cha-ching.

Former wife of the Dances with Wolves star danced away with an astonishing $80 million. Pardon me while I cry myself to sleep.
Harrison Ford and Melissa Mathison
According to IMDb (the source of all my movie knowledge), Ford raked in $150 per week during his early days. Fast forward some decades, a few major successes, and a broken marriage, and ex-wife Mathison walked away with $85 million.

Madonna and Guy Ritchie
In exchange for her faux British accent, the Material Girl purportedly forked over somewhere between $76 and $92 million to Ritchie. Ouch. Ouch.

Steven Spielberg and Amy Irving
A solid $100 million settlement to Irving, whom I have never heard of before. You may know Spielberg as the man who directed a film about Japanese geishas featuring an almost exclusive Chinese cast.
Neil Diamond and Marcia Murphey
I thought diamonds were forever! Murphey allegedly fetched a settlement of a cool $150 million from the country singer.

MJ supposedly paid Juanita $168 million after Juanita filed for divorce following their decade long marriage. Slam. Dunk. Marriage. Settlement.
Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver

California is a community property state, and all wages and income earned during marriage will be presumed to be community property and thus split 50/50 upon divorce. The news of Arnold’s love child was quite a shock, but the fact that Arnold has accumulated wealth topping $500 million means Shriver could be entitled to $250 million. She is the terminator of his bank account.
And the #1 spot for costliest divorce goes to…
Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren

Even the hottest people get cheated on. What is wrong with this world? Luckily, Elin has settled for a skyscraping $750 million and is moving on with her single, fabulous life.
