OK, guys, I know you are bitter. In fact
extremely bitter. You spent boat loads, and boat loads of money on
lawyers. To put it simply, you lost your shirt. Your ex-wife has
the kids, the house, the car, and half your paycheck. Yes, you are
in a bad situation. But hopefully this story will make you feel
better, because you are not at the bottom of the barrel. The story
goes like this, a high level GE divorces his wife of 31 years. This
high level GE executive will pay $17.3 million up front, and plus
$252,000 a year in alimony and $180,000 a year in GE dividend
equivalents. Now that’s really losing your pants. Most of us would
never make that kind of money. Anyway, that amount was
approximately 50% of the ex-couples estate as deemed by the judge.
The point of the story is we’re lucky we aren’t that kind of money
to our ex-wives. Luckily the sum is far less.
