DailyMail.com reveals the most expensive celebrity divorces ever

Microsoft founder Bill Gates, golf icon Tiger Woods and Hollywood superstar Mel Gibson have all made headlines over the years thanks to their very pricey divorces.

Indeed, celebrity splits have always been known to end up costing more money than most people would ever be able to make in their lifetime. 

But even for the wealthy, the settlement costs in some cases are jaw-dropping, earning them a place on the list of most expensive divorces to date.

Hollywood stars are all too familiar with big divorce costs, with iconic director Steven Spielberg paying $100 million to his ex-wife Amy Irving when they split in 1989.

Meanwhile, when Braveheart star Mel Gibson split from his ex-wife Robyn Moore in 2011, she walked away with $425 million.

Unsurprisingly, sports stars are just as likely to part with large amounts of cash when they call time on their marriages.

NBA legend Michael Jordan ended up paying $168 million to his first wife, Juanita in 2006.

Elsewhere, golf superstar Tiger coughed up $100 million following his messy split from ex-wife Elin Nordegren in 2010.

But when it comes to the big bucks, it’s tech founders such as Bill and Jeff Bezos who have had to shell out billions.
