Achraf Hakimi’s wife fails to make it to the list of women who became billionaires after divorce
Divorce has made many women millionaires, and has also put some on the billionaires’ watchlist. While they first married for love, this affair becomes financially beneficial when irreconcilable differences come knocking at their matrimonial homes.
However, while the ladies mentioned below might have become billionaires after their divorce, they were able to earn that much from separation due to their significant contributions in different ways to their ex-husband’s businesses.
Four women who became billionaires after Divorce
Melinda Gates – $76 billion/$2.4 billion
This was one of the most shocking divorce cases, as Bill and Melinda Gates were the poster face of everlasting marriage. After 27-years of being a power couple, they both said they could no longer grow together as such.
Some of the financial details of their divorce were not made public, but according to some reports, it is believed that Melinda is supposed to receive $76 billion due to equal settlement last year.
However, the figure made public is the stock transfer from Gates to Melinda in May 2021, worth $2.4 billion, as part of their divorce settlement.
Melinda is currently worth $6.1 billion.
MacKenzie Scott – $35 billion
MacKenzie made her way into the billionaire list after her divorce from Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, in 2019. They were married for 26 years before the third richest man in the world decided to shop from another store.
She received $35 billion worth of Amazon stock, which is 4% of the company. It is currently the largest divorce settlement in the world, making her the third richest woman in the world.
MacKenzie is currently worth $36.7 billion.
Sue Gross – $1.3 billion and million-dollar properties
After 32 years of marriage, Sue and her husband, Bill Gross, cofounder of PIMCO, an investment firm, decided to go their separate ways – leading to one of the most expensive divorce cases.
Sue walked away from the marriage with about $1.3 billion, a house worth $36 million and half of their art collection, one of which is a Picasso, that she sold for $35 million.
Sue is currently worth $1.6 billion
Sue Ann Arnall – $1 billion
She got married to Harold Hamm, an oil baron, in 1988, but the marriage hit the rock in 2014. Sue Ann left the marriage with a pay check of over a billion dollars after a court battle.
Her husband had initially paid her $20 million, but topped it up with a cheque of $974 million, which Sue Ann surprisingly described as too small, and went to court in order to get more out of Hamm.
But she lost the case. After the 26-years marriage ended, the judge that presided the case was removed, as Sue Ann, according to report, funded a political action committee which led to the judge’s ouster.
Hiba Abouk $0,000
Sorry to PSG star Achraf Hakimi’s wife Hiba Abouk who failed to cut it after discovering that her ex-husband outsmarted her when she discovered that all his wealth was registered in his mothers name. This practically means she will get nothing since the man has a zero dollars bank satemnt.
What a loss…
