Oil Billionaire may lose BILLIONS from divorce settlement!!!
Quote:
Any pop culture enthusiast worth their Netflix renewal fee remembers Ivana Trump’s cameo in The First Wives Club, the hit 1996 film about middle-aged divorcees, when she uttered her now-famous mantra: “Don’t get mad, get everything.”
How much the jilted ex-model actually got in her divorce from The Donald was never made public but Ivana did have a prenuptial agreement, albeit one she disputed. The pair settled and Ivana was awarded multiple properties and annual alimony.
Fast forward to 2013, when a prenuptial agreement is again at the center of a very public billionaire divorce. This time, the jilted wife in question could get, well, “everything”, or near enough: the biggest settlement in history, worth over $5 billion.
On Friday, Reuters published an exhaustive investigation into the impending divorce of Oklahoma oil mogul Harold Hamm. As of Forbes’ 2013 World’s Billionaires list, Hamm is worth $11.3 billion, the vast majority held in shares of his oil giant Continental Resources, the biggest player in the booming Bakken shale region of North Dakota.
His second wife, lawyer and economist Sue Ann Hamm, filed for divorce last year; she has since alleged that Harold was cheating on her, per Reuters’ reporting. The news wire posits that if the couple didn’t sign a prenuptial agreement, Sue Ann could receive half of Harold’s 68% stake in Continental. In essence, the entirely self-made oilman could lose control over the company he founded in 1967.
Hamm has three children from his first wife; they were divorced in 1987.[2] The following year, he married Sue Ann Hamm, a former executive at Continental; they have two grown daughters, Jane Hamm and Hilary Hamm. They live in Enid, Oklahoma.[16] Sue Ann Hamm filed for divorce on May 19, 2012.[2]
So was he messing with this woman while still married to his first ex wife?
Either way they have been married for over 20 years so she IS getting something.
