After we heard Star Jones and Al Reynolds were officially calling it quits, Mangesh and I got on the topic of massive divorce settlements. Unless Al has a really good lawyer—and Star has way more money than we think—they’re probably not cracking this list. Check out the numbers flosser Hank Green dug up for us:
• Ex-Mrs. Mick Jagger – $15 million
• Ex-Mrs. Donald Trump (Ivana) – $15 million
• Ex-Mrs. Lionel Richie – $20 million
• Ex-Mrs. Paul McCartney – $49 million
• Ex-Mrs. Kenny Rogers – $60 million
• Ex-Mrs. Kevin Costner – $80 million
• Ex-Mrs. Steven Spielberg – $100 million
• Ex-Mrs. Neil Diamond – $150 million
• Ex-Mrs. Michael Jordan – $150 million
• Ex-Mrs. Rupert Murdoch – $1.7 billion

Wowzers. Posts like this make me wish I wasn’t happily married to an average joe.
But then, I’ve never been very high-maintenance, so it wouldn’t do me any good to have a sugar-daddy.
One of my recaptcha code words is “$16,500,000″. Quite appropriate. Good job, recaptcha.
Forgive me if this is a double. I don’t think I entered the code correctly.

The “ex” McCartney is still working on getting more $$$. Cause $49 mill is not enough.
