When a couple has a fortune worth several million and hasn’t made a prenuptial agreement, it is clear that divorce can cost a lot – sometimes several billion dollars.

Usually, the richer partner has to pay a huge sum to the ex-spouse for various reasons or, if it is determined that it is a joint fortune, they usually divide it in half.

The public is currently waiting for information on how much the divorce of Bill and Melinda Gates will cost. Today, the famous billionaire has about 130 billion dollars, and since they did not make a prenuptial agreement with Melinda, experts assume that they will share the wealth in half. If true, their divorce would be one of the most costly in modern history.
