Is the scale ... logarithmic? Or just in rank order.

Did this need to be a graph?

Very surprised at the Wests divorce, I thought the pair of them ran on loaned money and had been bankrupt before

Y axis is neither Linear or logarithmic, you can see the very evenly spaced gap between each couple even though the differences various videly, it's more of a illustration of who is higher/lower than the next. The size of the circle "seems" more accurate with the settlement amount

I had a look, I think the figure is very wrong and is a statement of how much money was on the table at the time - their combined wealth being the $2.7b.

From what I can see, it would appear, following his Yeezey brand disaster, she is both far more liquid than he is, but her net worth is now about $300m or so more than his.

I think they have split their $75m shared assets, the only agreement beyond this is his $166,000 per month per child payments, at $199,200 per annum. There is no spouse support

I think Kim's quite unfairly included in this list as, unlike others on here (I promise this isn't meant to as sexist, the theory would work identically if I included a wealthy woman and her husband - think J.K. Rowling and her husband - a doctor - divorcing), Kim was independently very wealthy (circa $ 750m), she has seemingly accepted a split of their joint owned assets, child support and joint custody.

Both Adnan Khashoggi and Alec Wildenstein were owners of Ol Pejeta ranch in Kenya at different times (Adnan sold it to Alec and his wife Jocelyn transformed it into a luxury camp in the 1990s got perhaps cat obsession there).

Adnan bought stuff in Kenya from another billionaire... Tiny Rowland owner of Lonrho and friend of Al-Fayed. I think Al Fayed bank rolled Adnan.

Ol Pejeta is still owned by an anonymous billionaire (Wildensteins sold it) who turned it into a conservancy owned/run by a trust.

Adnan also bought Mt. Kenya Safari Club and turned it into a billionaires nest (place where Jack made first ever tweet from Kenya about 2009)

Bill Gates bought an Island last month in Malindi close to the property of Flavio Briatore, an Italian Billionaire who lives in Kenya and bought Naomi Campbell's her home (now a resort) in Kenya.

Bill Gates though is not alone Richard Branson owns stuff in Kenya too and has a popular camp resort inside Maasai Mara. Coincidentally Bill Gates loves the Mara, he camped there for new years 31st December 1999 with his then young family.

Seems billionaires like to flock. Where there is one there is plenty of others even though it doesn't seem they even interact in anyway. In places like Kenya no less.

There are others but like to be more discreet.

Yes, rank order, but without unit notation so you have to implicitly assume the rank order (order direction) and rank upper/lower limit and interval. So yeah half baked rank order.

Its disgusting in my opinion. Neither a woman or a man should be entitled to that much of someone else’s accomplishments. I think a person should be entitled to have what they brought to the marriage plus a set amount designed to help transition out of the relationship. Child support is a separate issue. That said I still dont see how any kids need several hundred thousand dollars per month.

If both parties are equally involved in earning that wealth, they can both be entitled to half.

If one earned all the money, and the other earned nothing, the latter should not be entitled to anywhere near half.

MeanGreanHare t1_j8bdyll wrote

The lesson here is that if you're rich, don't get married. Even if you get a prenup, the other person is still entitled to half of what is earned during the marriage.

So if both people in the relationship have the exact same job with the same pay. They come to a mutual decision that one of them will be the full time child carer for their children as it suits both parents over any other alternative.

Now the parent still working can further progress into their career earning progressively more money. They divorce 20 years after that decision and it is your opinion that because they didn't earn that money they are entitled to way less than their partner?

As somebody that works in law that is not equitable at all to me. You've made a joint decision to impact someone's career and future earnings for everyone's benefit and now they are being punished for it unduly.

Except they're bourgeois pigs who didn't accomplish anything anyway

Also, what if one person is a stay at home parent? They're helping and working just as hard if not harder than their partner, but they don't make money. Should they just leave with nothing?

If ur ever rich.....never ever be stupid enough to get married or let the emotion of love blind u. If u love her/him, instead of going through some stupid cultural tradition that society forces down ur throat since ur 5 years old, just keep her as ur girlfriend/boyfriend/partner for the rest of ur life and ur set.

....comning from a guy who hates being the center of attention and playing dress up.

Like Mackenzie bezos.....what the heck was the reason for getting married to some teacher and now ur divorced again, lady legit was married to discount lex luthor for like 30 years, divorces and was like, time to get married again ....smh.....whatev, do whatever the heck u want

It's said Michael Jordan has a $ 1 million per year of marriage clause.

Part of any serious relationship is a business transaction between two adults. It can be this along with many other things: loving, sacrificial, religious, etc.

Edit: Don't understand the downvotes. MJ is worth 1.7B. I was indicating this clause is MJ's self-protection.

I honeymooned in the mara last year and if money wasn't an object I'd holiday there all the time too. Might never get the chance again to be honest since we got it "bride goes free" deal.

Not true. She made fun of him by accusing him of being a lonely man (Red Pill/MGTOW), which by the way has nothing to do with being misogynistic.

And this rhetorical attack is the very hallmark of misandrists.

Two people voluntarily agreeing to become equal partners in a government sanctioned union, is not an "injustice", just because one person doesn't want to live with that decision when it doesn't benefit them.

It's also something that isn't even exclusive to men. A wealthy woman is going to have her fortune split up just the same, which is yet another reason crying over this being an "injustice for men" is utterly asinine.

You really brought up a bankruptcy article from 2016 as if Kanye didn't shortly after launch his Yeezy line with Adidas that has been the most popular shoe in the west for the past 5+ years now.

The dude made Adidas and Balenciaga BILLIONS of dollars in revenue, so much so that other companies were lining up at his door to save their fashion brands, up until his very public meltdown late last year.

With all the contracts he had before his meltdown, he was valued at around 5-6 billion dollars.

There are possibility of wikipedia pages for literally anything as long as you have sources and they have any significance in anywhere whatsoever. Would you consider someone really not well known who has some significance in small subculture and isn't known outside small group of people a celebrity?

Yes. Like I don't know any of the people who compete in horse jumping and I suspect most of the world doesn't. But they're all famous. Someone like David Chalmbers is a complete and total rockstar in philosophy... but broadly the world doesn't know who he is.

The term celebrity simply refers to being known. Sometimes the word is modified "local celebrity" to refer to people who are well known only in your town or city.
