2. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s divorce from Maria Shriver – $200 million

After 25 years of marriage and a decision to go their separate ways, Maria Shriver walked away with half of their earnings acquired over two decades in 2011.

Unlike some of the other celebrity wives, Maria is worth around $100 million in her own right thanks to her Kennedy clan status.

Maria and Arnold met at a tennis tournament and starting dating about 5 years later.

After 25 years of marriage, Maria filed for divorce after Arnold admitted to an affair with a member of their staff, with whom he fathered a child. Schwarzenegger and Shriver have 4 children together.

Arnold publically apologized to his family, but there was no going back for his wife.
