Mel Gibson’s split from Robyn Moore, his wife of 28 years, is expected to be one of Hollywood’s most wallet-emptying divorces. If there isn’t a pre-nup (as some speculate), Moore, who married the Braveheart star before his career took off in 1980, could walk away with half of the actor’s US$1.2 billion in assets.
See how Mel and Robyn might stack up against eight of the biggest celebrity splits:
Madonna and Guy Ritchie
Kevin Costner and Cindy Silva
Harrison Ford and Melissa Mathison
Ron Wood and Jo Wood
Steven Spielberg and Amy Irving
Morgan Freeman and Myrna Colley-Lee
Neil Diamond and Marcia Murphey
Michael and Juanita Jordan
