Considering all of the times that you hear about a 50% split of the assets, I consider this man lucky. Also, that 50% split often comes after the man is already succesful and then marries. this guy was an asst prof when they met, so all of the assets were earned while they were together. So he is fortunate, and I think the 24 million she got was fair. he paid about what, 24%? I am not saying that she made him what he is, but she probably did give him a lot of support through the years. to me, 50% would be too much, but this amount is reasonable.
Now in me and my wife's case, I worked full time and earned more than her while earning my master's (graduate this may). She is now not working and going back to school to earn a degree in nursing. If she ever leaves, I have her by the short and curlies considering I paid for more of my school and her school. HAHAHA!. Just kidding, neither of us could do it without each other, so if anything ever happened, I would want a fair split of the assets.
