Let me holla at you for a minute Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.
I have a piece of advice for you.
STOP GETTING MARRIED.
Even Tiger Woods and Michael Jordans’ Ex-Wives are looking at this number and are like “GOD DAMN!!!”
Here is why Maktoum’s wife was awarded so much money via AP.
A British court has ordered the ruler of Dubai to pay his ex-wife and their children close to 550 million pounds ($730 million), in one of the most expensive divorce settlements in British history.
A High Court judge said Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum must pay 251.5 million pounds to his U.K.-based sixth wife, Princess Haya Bint Al Hussein, and make ongoing payments for their children Jalila, 14, and Zayed, 9, underpinned by a bank guarantee of 290 million pounds.
The total amount the children receive could be more or less than 290 million pounds, depending on factors including how long they live and whether they reconcile with their father.
The settlement includes 11 million pounds a year to cover security costs for Princess Haya and the children while they are minors.
But wait there is a plot twist.
The reason they are getting a divorce is because she was having an affair with her bodyguard and the protection money she needs is because she is afraid of Sheikh.
In evidence to the court, Princess Haya said she had paid 6.7 million pounds to four of her security staff who blackmailed her over her affair with a bodyguard, selling jewelry and taking money from her daughter’s bank account to get the funds.
After learning of the affair, Sheikh Mohammed published a poem titled ’You Lived; You Died,” which Princess Haya interpreted as threatening.
Lord have mercy.
This sounds like a movie, I am not sure what movie, but Liam Neeson or Jason Statham would be in it, I am sure of it.
