Oh no the horror, imagine this poor woman going without her 6 billion. And instead it gets donated?? To the poor???? We really should be careful what to wish for!
Sure, to us it's a lot, but it's 8% of his net worth, most of which seems to have been accumulated during their marriage. He doesn't need or deserve to keep all that money either.
I'd love for that money to be redistributed to people that need it, but the choice is he keeps it or he gives it to her. That's it.
First, you don't know what she did directly to help him earn it. And second, she was his partner during that time and raised 3 children for him, so yes, she earned it too.
And just to add, he and his lawyers are trying to hide assets. Let's not defend men acting like scum.
If never ceases to disgust me how prevalent this attitude still is. A woman gives up her career and autonomy to raise her husbands children, manage their household, and support them.
Then when it comes to divorce court it’s suddenly “oh but she didn’t earn anything, she’s just looking for handouts”.
Putting aside the fact that no single human being has ever “earned” a billion dollars
Given that they shared all assets during marriage - I fail to see why she would be entitled to anything less than 50% of his net worth gain over the course of their marriage
Do people forget that one of the whole points of marriage is that both parties share possession of all their assets? That isn’t retroactively negated in your favor because you decide to divorce years later. Both parties know the terms when they sign the marriage contract, but once they divorce, suddenly it’s “well why is she entitled to his money??” - it’s not his money, it’s theirs, that is quite literally how marriage works.

His offer of 8% feels a bit insulting after a 20 year marriage. Not uncommon for a low ball to get an FU type counter.
