Last week’s divorce settlement between Madonna and her film director ex-husband Guy Ritchie has made Ritchie, well, rich. Madonna’s publicist, Liz Rosenberg, announced to the Associated Press that Madonna was ordered to give Ritchie between 50 and 60 million pounds ($76-$92 million) as part of their divorce agreement, including the value of the couple’s English country estate.

While Madonna’s split was a costly one, there have been many costly celeb divorces that have come before. Here are the top ten.

10. Michael Douglas’ marriage to Diandra Douglas ended in 2000 after 23 years. When all was said and done, Diandra walked away with $45 million.

9. Phil Collins divorced Swiss-born wife Orianne Cevey, the mother of his two children, after 6 years of marriage. Collins was ordered to pay Cevey $46.76 million.

8. Paul McCartney divorced Heather Mills in 2006, but it took until the fall of 2008 to hammer out the details of their divorce. In the end, Mills walked away with $48.6 million of McCartney’s money.

7. “Titanic” director James Cameron and his actress wife, Linda Hamilton, divorced in 1999 after only two years of marriage. Hamilton received a settlement for $50 million.

6. Madonna’s split with Guy Ritchie places her sixth on the list of most expensive celebrity divorces. Costing Madonna at least $76 million, her rep announced that it was “one of the largest payouts ever in a divorce settlement.”

5. Kevin Coster and Cindy Silva were married for 16 years, but the divorce in 1994 left Silva with $80 million.

4. Harrison Ford and wife Melissa Mathison divorced in 2004 after 21 years of marriage. Mathison walked away with $85 million and a cut of Harrison’s future earnings for the movies he made while they were still married, including two “Star Wars” films and three “Indiana Jones” movies.

3. Steven Spielberg split with first wife Amy Irving in 1989 after 4 years of marriage. Although the couple had a pre-nup, Irving was able to challenge it, and Spielberg ultimately paid out $100 million.

2. Neil Diamond wed Marcia Murphey in 1969, but after 27 years of marriage, Diamond paid Murphey $150 million when the marriage came to an end.

1. According to both USA Today and Forbes, Michael Jordan has made the biggest payout ever in a celebrity divorce to ex-wife Juanita. The basketball legend was ordered to pay $168 million to Juanita for their 18-year marriage, which ended in 2007.

Yes, celebs have mountains of money, but divorce settlements can even hurt those sitting high on the hog. There is a reason prenuptial agreements came into being, and for those celebs who never bothered to get one, it’s likely all the money in the world cannot make up for that regret.
