Paul McCartney & Heather Mills – $48.6 Million

Paul McCartney and Heather Mills became man and wife at a wedding held in Castle Leslie, Ireland. As they exchanged their vows, divorce was probably the furthest thing on their minds. However, they needed to hire a divorce attorney six years later. Mills, meanwhile, decided to represent herself during the proceedings. McCartney admired his ex-wife for that and said that such a move “took guts.”

Madonna & Guy Ritchie – $92 Million

Madonna and Guy Ritchie first met sometime in November 1998. They tied the knot in Skibo Castle, Scotland back two years later and soon welcomed a son into the world. They named him Rocco. In 2006, they also adopted a child from Malawi and named him David. In 2008, however, Madonna filed for divorce and their union was effectively dissolved via decree nisi. It’s a good thing that they were able to compromise for the sake of their two sons.
