Largest Divorce

Russia's richest man, Vladimir Potanin, took the dispute with his ex-wife to the UK's top court in a bid to avoid facing one of the world's largest divorce claims, as he warned against the "generosity" of the English courts.

Cascade Investment, the holding company created by Bill Gates, transferred stock in two of Mexico's largest companies to Melinda French Gates, bringing the total amount she's received in the past few days to more than $2 billion.

As a married couple, Bill and Melinda Gates spent decades amassing one of history's largest fortunes. Now that they're divorcing, they have to untangle that $145 billion.

Bill and Melinda Gates, who for decades have overseen one of history's greatest fortunes and philanthropic operations, said they plan to divorce.

The son at the center of the U.K.'s largest divorce lost a London court ruling over his role in hiding assets from his mother with a judge calling him "a dishonest individual who will do anything to assist his father."

Sue Ann Arnall, the ex-wife of Oklahoma oil magnate Harold Hamm, has deposited a handwritten $975 million divorce cheque, Hamm's lawyer said on Thursday, in a move that may end an epic divorce battle over a fortune worth billions.
