RUSSIAN BILLIONAIRE PAY WIFE $4.5 BILLION IN MOST EXPENSIVE DIVORCE SETTLEMENT

 FILE - A Sunday, Jan. 26 , 2014 from files showing President of AS Monaco Dmitry Rybolovlev, left, and Prince Albert II Of Monaco, as they attend the French League One soccer match Monaco vs Marseille, in Monaco stadium. A Swiss court has ordered Russian billionaire Dmitry Rybolovlev to pay $4.5 billion to his ex-wife, in what could end up being the biggest divorce settlement in history. In papers delivered to the parties Monday, May 19, 2014, the Geneva Tribunal of First Instance said the 47-year-old Rybolovlev, a co-owner of the French soccer club AS Monaco, must pay 4,020,555,987.80 Swiss francs ($4,509,375,184.80) to ex-wife Elena Rybolovleva, also 47, of Geneva. The judgment shows that his wife also won two pieces of real estate in the ultra-wealthy area of Geneva known as Cologny, where the couple once lived together, and confirmed her custody of their 13-year-old daughter Anna. They also have an older daughter, Ekaterina, after meeting as university students in Perm, Russia, and marrying there in 1987. The divorce case began in 2008, when Forbes estimated his worth at $12.8 billion. (AP Photo/Lionel Cironneau)
So much for going their separate ways!
A Russian billionaire, Dmitry Rybolovlev has been asked by a Swiss Court to pay a "super-whooping" sum of $4.5 billion to his ex-wife, Elena Rybolovleva. I just tried to calculate that in naira and honestly the result is really deceiving me.

Ranked 147th on Forbes list of billionaires and with a fortune of $8.8 billion, Fertilizer king as he's fondly called also owns French soccer club, AS Monaco. Well, he is expected to make an appeal within 30 days. The couple got married for 27 years, have two daughters, the ex-wife also gets custody of their 13-year-old.

Marc Bonnant, Elena's lawyer called it "the most expensive divorce in history".
Two other lawyers in the case, Corinne Corminboeuf Harari and Caroline Schumacher, termed it "a complete victory" for her, adding that under Swiss law she's entitled to half the fortune he made during their marriage.
