11 Most Expensive Divorce Settlements in the World

9. Mel Gibson – Robyn Gibson (née Moore)

Settlement: $425 million

One of the most famous (and wealthiest) Hollywood actors, Mel Gibson, divorced from his wife Robyn in 2011. The judge awarded her with exactly one-half of Mel’s $850 million fortune. The couple was separated since 2006, after the infamous DUI and alleged racial slurs got Mel in a spot of bother with the media. However, the straw that broke the camel’s back was the picture released in 2009 of Mel hugging the Russian singer Oksana Grigorieva, with whom he had a child later that year. The marriage ended after 28 years and 7 children. Gibson’s relationship with Oksana also ended badly, after both of them filed for restraining orders against each other in 2010.
