Husband Walks Away with Millions after Divorcing Wife Worth $44M

Although he is famous in his own right, one man stands to walk away a multi-millionaire after divorcing his wife. According to reports, the husband is over ten years his wife's age and she is worth an estimated $44 million. The British comedian wed his wife 14 months ago in India. Since they did not sign a prenuptial agreement, he is likely to get half of her earnings for the time that they were together. The two are seeking a divorce in California which is a community property state. This means that unless there is a prenuptial agreement, the assets considered to be community property will be split equally between both parties.
