Divorce-Styles of the Rich and Famous

By Jeralyn

You think you have economic worries? Cheer up, things could be worse. You could be getting divorced and no longer able to afford your weekly expenses of $53,000, including:

• $700 for limousine service,
• $4,500 for clothes,
• $1,000 for hair and skin treatments,
• $1,500 for restaurants and entertainment, and
• $8,000 for travel

And find yourself in court arguing that a $43 million settlement just isn't enough because it would only last 16 years and even though you did agree to accept that amount in event of a divorce, you only did so because your husband preyed on your fears of ending up divorced and childless.

As a result, you could find yourself on the witness stand for days while trying to convince a judge you need $100 million in cash and stock in addition to $130,000 a month in alimony.
