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.
