Michael JordanUS Business Magazine, Forbes have just published a list of the most costly celebrity divorces and basketball star, Michael Johnson tops the list. Jordan married Juanita Vanoy in 1989 and it is estimated that the divorce will cost in excess of $150 million. Neil Diamond’s divorce cost a similar amount, and Stephen Spielberg’s split from actress wife, Amy Irving cost $100 million.
I would definitely recommend a pre-nuptual agreement!
