Mel Gibson's wife gets £271 million divorce settlement

[chirpychirpy]

Mel Gibson’s former wife has landed a £271million Christmas present – half his fortune as a divorce settlement. Mum-of-seven Robyn, who was married to Gibson for 31 years, did not sign a pre-nuptial agreement when they married in 1980. So she was able to claim the bumper payday in what is believed to be Hollywood’s costliest divorce and is due to become final on January 9. Former dental nurse Robyn filed for divorce from Gibson in 2009 after pictures emerged of him relaxing on the beach at their Costa Rica holiday home with girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva. It also emerged that Oksana was pregnant with his child. At the time Robyn filed for divorce, she revealed that she and her husband had actually been separated for three years. Robyn will also receive half of Gibson’s residual fees for all the films he made during their marriage. Court papers show that the couple have made private arrangements for the support of their 12-year-old son Thomas, their only non-adult offspring. The couple married after Gibson had made his breakthrough film, Mad Max.He went on to amass a fortune from films and property investments. Do you think she deserves to get this much and, if not, how much do you think she should get?

I cannot see anywhere that he has objected to paying her this money
I think he will probably admit she deserves it.
