American wife to get $530million in Britain's biggest divorce payout

A judge in a London High Court ruled that the American wife of a British Tycoon be given $530m in a divorce payout. This is considered to be the biggest divorce settlement so far in British history. The estranged wife of finance tycoon Christopher Hohn will receive an equivalent of N96 billion.

The judge awarded Jamie Cooper-Hohn $493 million in cash and the rest in the form of a property in Connecticut and adjustments to her share of a pension.

A full judgment will be published in December, but the figures were cited during a court hearing yesterday November 27. 
 
She was initially seeking half of her ex-husband's assets, but he said she was entitled to just a quarter on the grounds that his talents as an investor constituted a special contribution to their wealth. He also referred to himself as an "unbelievable moneymaker.”

In awarding Ms. Cooper-Hohn less than half of the couple’s $1.3 billion fortune, the case could set a legal precedent in the U.K, which has developed a wide reputation as a capital for divorce disputes between ultra-rich couples.

Mr. Hohn and Ms. Cooper-Hohn met while studying at Harvard University, and have been married for 17 years. They have four children.
 
The couple have been described as UK’s most generous philanthropists and have both said they lead relatively modest lives, given their wealth.

That's why women will always remain where they are.. at the bottom. Don't go and work hard for your own money. Sit there and wait for a man to magically come and turn your life around. Lol

t said...

She's an unbelievable moneymaker too, apparently. Half-a-billion dollars!
Seriously though, they're philanthropists, they can't eat all that money (look how skinny htey are sef lol) they give to various causes, like health and education.

Shut-up ! You silly fool . Who told you they didn't work for it? Try living a life without a woman and see what its like. Mind you, here in nigeria women get same generous compensation on divorce as well .
