337 million pounds is approximately 530 million US dollars. Yup more than half a billion dollars for 15 years of marriage.

That's $35 million per year or $2.9 million per month

Nice gig if you can get it

Assuming sex 3x week on average, that works out to about $240K per bang.

That pussy got to be pulling you in like a black hole to be worth that much.

Get married to an ugly twat like that and you deserve your divorce rape.

It think 3 times a month would be a fairly generous assumption.

$1m per bang.

We should also take note of the fact that the marriage lasted 17 years and the ex-wife was 49 years old at the time of the divorce.

Hence, simple arithmetic tells us that she was 22 when they married.

Come on, who would marry a 32 year old woman? She was obviously 22.

No, 32.
She played her game well. Snagged a rich man who was getting richer, right before she hit the wall hard.
He played his game terribly. No pre nup, and marrying an American, who tend to be litigious.
He should have also maintained a primary residence outside of Britain, gotten a pre nup, married a woman no older than 25, and much hotter.

I guess my sense of irony doesn't carry well sometimes.

Today it's accepted as a given that wife has to be given a payout; the only question is how much. If there was anything fair about divorce settlements, the law would be imposing an upper limit on them, for example no more than the amount of average wages that a worker gets when laid off.

Is there any such thing as an iron clad pre nup? Is it possible to get a really good atty before marriage and put together a prenup that would preclude or minimize ( for just a limited amount of months...say 6 or so so she could "get on her feet") the amount of alimony a man would have to pay?
Are prenups just useless. Surely, there must be a way to draw one up where a man would be willing to take the plunge with a woman he loved without having to worry about being possibly wiped out years later.

[samsamsam]

Some people get post nups and put assets in irrevocable trusts. The biggest thing I think is even with these tools, you can't mix stuff/comingle or take actions that make it seem like it is her stuff. But I am not a lawyer. Once you start giving her a certain lifestyle it seems the legal system doesn't want to take that away from her, because, you know, she earned it

[Pontifex Maximus]

She only keeps the stuff she put out on. That's the true fruits of her labor. I wouldn't mind losing a couch, mattress and few kitchen floor tiles. That granite counter might hurt a bit.

Yesterday when I was waiting for bus I overheard a Turkish guy complaining to his friend about the pressure he was under for marriage issues. All his relatives had consecutive weddings lately and his family was expecting him to do the same soon enough. He was complaining because (as I interpreted) he didn't wanna throw away his life but yet he thought deep down that marrying and settling down was the responsible thing to do. When I turned around to take a better look at him, he was an okay-looking guy in his late 20s, no sign of deformity that would make him have to rush into a marriage in fear of not being able to find a spouse if he waited any longer.

Why did this man have a girlish mentality, worrying about finding a wife soon and fearing being single for rest of his life? Was he a particularly stupid man? Was he a bad guy? No, that's just the society that is fucked up. The society gives this default mindset to every guy, and those who don't happen to have swollen a hard red pill have no reason to think any different than this guy.

My point is, no man deserves to burn like that merely because of poor game. Shame on the society that made a man throw away half a billion dollars for an ugly cum-eating whore. It doesn't make me happy to hear that. It makes me sad that he didn't have a friend like any of the guys here in the manosphere to strongly advise him against it, to shove the red pill down his throat, to kidnap him on the wedding morning. It makes me angry that laws allow such a whore to walk away with half a billion for dumping her husband.

''Should I settle for small occasional gifts like earrings and flowers, or should I leave my husband and take half a billion dollar from him?'' What sane woman would chose the former if these are the options laid to him by the society?

When you read about divorce rapes, some of you might see weak men. I see a despicable society.

[tomtud]

Once men start collecting FAT settlements, then we will see change. Until then, nada!!!!

[Suits]

Divorce payout calculations aren't based on a woman's real contribution to the marriage.

They are based on the assumption that she is the man's "better half" and that all of his accomplishments occurred because she was carrying 50% of the load.

[StrikeBack]

WNB the wife.

WNGFA - would not get financial advice - from the husband

[DChambers]

If I had that much money I'd raise an army and march on London. Probably cost me less than the divorce.
