HOLLYWOOD (RushPRNews)12/17/08 — Lady Madonna, children at your breast, what will it take to let you rest? Up to $92 million paid out from her purse to now-ex-husband Guy Ritchie after eight years of marriage and three kids at stake.
No woman in history has paid more for a divorce, though settlements from rich and famous men Michael Jordan reportedly had them pay out $150 million, Harrison Ford and Steven Spielberg $100 mil, and Paul McCartney $60 million.

Madonna, whose longtime publicist and friend Liz Rosenberg said “It’s one of the largest payouts ever in a divorce settlement,” and includes the former couples Ashcombe mansion in the UK.

The fate of the children is less certain after a quiet money settlement in Great Britain courts. They will share custody of their adopted Malawian sons Rocco, 8, and David 3. Madonna’s daughter Lourdes will live with her in New York.
