Morgan Freeman and Myrna Colley-Lee (still awaiting settlement: it could be more than US$100 million by some estimates)
Last August was a bad month for Oscar-winning actor Morgan Freeman. Days after a car accident left him nursing several broken bones, it surfaced that Freeman was splitting from his wife of 24 years, Myrna Colley-Lee. The divorce has yet to be settled, but some say it could cost Freeman more than US$100 million. At stake are properties in L.A., Mississippi, New York and the Virgin Islands, as well as rare stamp and coin collections. They have one child together.
