Guy Richer After $76 Million of Madonna's Money

Call him Guy Rich-hee-hee.

Madonna’s ex-husband, director Guy Ritchie, must be smiling now that he is $76 million richer as part of his final settlement with the Material Girl.

Well, it seems that what was material to both of them was an amicable divorce — which they have accomplished.

Madonna married Guy Ritchie in 2000 and together they had Rocco 7, adopted David, 3, and took care of Madonna’s daughter Lourdes, 12, from her previous boyfriend Carlos Leon. The couple also worked out a visitation agreement.

Don’t cry for Madonna since she is still worth hundreds of millions of dollars — a reported $600 million, in fact. Paying manimonywon’t make a dent in her overall assets and she will have plenty of time now to increase her financial muscles by performing on stage instead of in court.

Ritchie can celebrate his victory at his British pub which he still will own and then sleep it off at their $30 million Ashcombe House country estate in Wiltshire.

Madonna gets to keep their marital home in Marylebone, London. And natch, her New York apartment where she reportedly has been hitting some homeruns with Yankee slugger, Alex Rodriguez (though he claims they are just friends).

According to a London source, Ritchie wanted to stay in their London home and split it in two but Madonna wanted her space and independence. She then gave him $18 million as compensation.

A friend of Madonna said last night: “She is fed up at reports that Guy is walking away with no money — she has sorted his finances for life.”

This way it’s an easier break and she can have peace of mind. He will be mindful that she worked out a generous deal which, for the future relationship of this family, is priceless
