-
Michael Douglas and Diandra Douglas
It seems that Michael and Diandra made a terrible mistake by ending their marriage. At least it was terrible for Michael since he had to give away $45 million. The couple divorced in 2000 but still face the issues regarding their marriage. Now Diandra has to pay $1,155,394 for not paying taxes for 2007-2009. Michael said in an interview that he should have ended their marriage sooner.

Phil Collins and Orianne Cevey
According to Phil, they should never have broken up. The famous couple, who divorced in 2006, made the list of the most expensive divorces because Collins had to pay $47 million. At the time it was the most expensive divorce. But Phil admits he still loves Orianne, even though she has a new husband. Collins and Cevey are still linked through their children, Nicholas and Matthew.

Sir Paul McCartney and Heather Mills
This was the most expensive divorce in a very long time. Heather took $48.6 million from the glorious Beatles member Paul and recently admitted it was very difficult. In an interview, Mills said it was more dramatic than losing a leg in a motorcycle accident. She is still dealing with the 2008 divorce drama today.
-
James Cameron und Linda Hamilton
Linda’s role in the movie Terminator was outstanding, in contrast to her marriage to the legendary director James Cameron. In 1999, they decided to go their separate ways, and Hamilton billed James for $50 million. In an interview, Linda admits that their marriage was terrible on every level and there was no solution to it. However, Linda got a chance to experience what it’s like to hold 11 Oscars for the movie Titanic, so eventually it wasn’t bad.
-
Guy Ritchie und Madonna
No one knows the exact amount of moneyMadonna took from Guy. Rumor has it that the price ranged from $76 million to $92 million. Their marriage has been on the line for a very long time since Madonna wasn’t sure Guy was still passionate about it. She even wondered if there really was true love between them after they divorced Ritchie. Both weren’t ready to move on, and it’s a cause for one of the costliest divorces in history.

Kevin Costner and Cindy Silva
It all started for the couple while they were studying at California State University. After graduation, Kevin and Cindy decided to get married. They were in Puerto Vallarta on their honeymoon. After dating for 16 years, they split in 1994 and Cindy got $80 million.
-
Harrison Ford und Melissa Mathison
Your favorite actor in the Indiana Jones movies is also on this list. After being happily married to Melissa for 18 years, they divorced in 2001. Of course there was a prenuptial agreement like this. Even though they were married because they loved each other, Melissa was still down $85 million. The prenuptial agreement is a good way to start a marriage if you are marrying a celebrity.

Steven Spielberg and Amy Irving
It’s interesting that I’m auditioning for the film Close Encounters of the Third Kind , directed by Spielberg in 1977. She didn’t actually get the role in this movie, but she met Steven. They married in 1985 but the marriage didn’t last long since they split after just four years. Amy took away $ 90 million from the famous director.
-
Neil Diamond and Marcia Murphey
Many people think Neil fell in love with Amy while he was still with Jane Posner. Either way, this couple put rings on each other’s fingers in 1969 and had two sons, Jesse and Micah. They have been married for 25 years and separating was almost unthinkable. But things changed and they decided to put an end to it and Marcia walked away with $150 million of Neil’s earnings. It’s still one of the most expensive divorces in history.
-
Michael Jordan and Juanita Jordan
The most expensive celebrity divorce involves NBA legend Michael Jordan. He and his wife Juanita separated in 2007 and it was one of those moments that basketball fans couldn’t forget. Michael wasn’t happy with the decision for Juanita to receive a staggering $168 million from his earnings. Most expensive celebrity divorces are related to actors and musicians, but this divorce is still the most expensive in history.
