Roman Abromovich, considered the richest of Russia's Oligarchs has quietly settled his divorce from his wife Irina. Abromovich, whose net worth has been estimated to be anywhere between 10 and 20 Billion dollars, perhaps more, is best known for his ownership of England's Chelsea Football Club as well as two of the worlds largest privately owned yachts. The larger of the two, the Peloris, is equipped with a phalanx of Ex Navy Seals as well as a personal Submarine.
Though details of the settlement with Irina have been kept private, she is now most likely the world's richest former Flight Attendant.

After 32 years of marriage, former state attorney general candidate, Jeanine Pirro, and her husband, Albert, are selling their Florida and New York homes, fueling the flames of gossip over an ongoing, rumored split.
If you remember, Jeanine's bid for state attorney suffered an unfortunate blow when she went under the federal investigative spot light for scheming to eavesdrop on her husband because she thought he was having an affair.
Truth be known, he had admitted to fathering an out-of-wedlock child with a former legal assistant. Prior to all of this, Albert had spent a year in prison over a tax trial that involved the houses they're now selling.
Politics, eavesdropping, an out-of-wedlock child and prison ... someone call the networks, it sounds like a miniseries.

Gary and Lorna Wendt had a messy divorce. He was a top executive at GE, and yes, there was another woman involved. But that wasn’t the issue. The issue was a fair division in the settlement she sought from her husband of 32 years. Lorna insisted on half of her husband’s assets, which were estimated to be more than $100 million.
When they started out, they started out with nothing, but she was an equal partner. At the end of the marriage, 32 years later, she remained an "equal partner," yet in addition to 99% of the domestic workload she had continued to be her husband’s biggest supporter, was married to the company, but had no benefits.
After a tedious fight, she triumphed and forever changed the longstanding balance of the true value of a woman's contribution to a marriage and partnership.
