For you guys who've gone through the financial sting of divorce, it seems the sword cuts both ways.

Giada's ex-husband's career as a fashion designer never took off and the settlement was expensive for her. Taking into account that she comes from a wealthy family, she got off relatively lightly. She didn't have a pre nutual agreement. Strange that she would chose so poorly, doesn't money always marry money?

Never heard of either of them.But good for him.One of the few guys that comes out on top.
 
Never heard of either of them.

Sounds like she was banging quite a few other guys.

Anyway, I don't know if this divorce constitutes, "taking her to the cleaners".

My personal opinion on divorce is that you should leave with 100% of what you came with (including your house(s), pensions, etc.) Split anything you bought 50 / 50 while you were married regardless of who paid for it, and no such thing as support or alimony after the date of divorce. End of story.

Seems to me, Russell Brandt never asked Katy Perry for a dime of her fortune when they split up. He was entitled to a lot of money, but he just said fuck it and walked away. Good for him.
 
Giada is a smoking HOTT Italian cook hottie.

Believe me, it does. There are TONS of rich women paying alimony and equalization settlements to average joe husbands out there. Happens every day.
 
This is so wrong. He is Not better than all of the women that take their spouses for everything that they got. As JTK said she should have kept anything that she had before the marriage. No extra and since they have share custody no child support. He has two hands so he should get a job
 
Score one for the guys!

I know guys who get alimony too, but not a lot.

I think one reason why guys seem to get the worse end of it is due to guys I know who split up usually taking a laid back approach and just want to settle quick even though his wife makes more. They still want to be the nice guy and not try to tie up the courts with hardcore "every penny" tactics...... Just give me a bit or let's just call it even and we can move on

On the other hand, the wife seems more likely to drag it out and get every penny.

So tip for the guys out there..... if you truly think you deserve settlement, you can either be the nice guy who settles for less/none to speed up the process. Or, drag it out and get every dime you technically deserve.

The courts will grant you what you deserve, but it's still an uphill battle to an extent as the courts typically "assume" the guy will land on his feet better so they deserve less than if roles were completely flipped. Dumb assumption, but that's the way it is.
 
Its quite irrelevant, she has a tonne of money, this is just a drip.

The real issue is people who make like 150k a year and are fucked over to the point of living in shack.

Compare apples to apples folks. Rich people are not phased by this.

There are lots of women who "don't want to be a bitch because he's a good man at heart" and let themselves be screwed badly in divorce court. There's good and bad in both genders. I could tell you tales of vicious, mean, prickish dudes who bully and cheat and intimidate their way through Family Court in order to fuck the woman over as well. LOTS of those guys out there.

Exactly he could have gotten much, much ,more. She is a member of one of Italy's richest families. Their holding company has stakes in shipping, refrigeration, food, entertainment and sports. Zio Aurelio, the family patriarch, is probably worth more than Lord Bunga Bunga.

She was willing to give up physical equity to keep her brand. She deserves credit for creating her own brand without pigging out like Paris Hilton. And the family knows how to make money, Nono Dino put up $700,000 to get this film made. Rest assured they got a percentage of the profits.

Rest assured if Giada's ex had wanted to be a mean miserable prick and tried to bully her, Zio Aurelio would have crushed him. He created his own controversy a few years ago when he said English women are not big on hygiene.

 
The Conservatives are the least diverse in terms of race and gender, also they have the least post secondary degrees with almost no people from STEM.

Now which party has a leader who silences scientists, cares very little about women's rights, panders to ignorant and educated citizens, surrounds himself with corrupt party personnel, and thinks it's okay for rich people not to pay the same percentage of taxes as the lower classes?

Why don't you fuck off to the politics forum? Does everything with you have to be about parties and politics, its the lounge for fucks sake.
 
She has more money than she does, that is why she has to pay up. In the future there will me more wives paying up because there are more female university graduates these days.

It's already happening.

Interesting.

Is it a diverse group of rich women (e.g. self-made vs inherited wealth) and men?

Both. Two recent cases: She was a senior nurse making about $120m per year and he was a disabled contractor. And she was an heiress and he was her long term toy boy / hubbykins.
