Best way to get rich quick? Get divorced: How ex-wives



Marry rich but divorce even richer – that’s the way to join the ranks of the super-wealthy.

Divorce has paid well for several women in Britain whose settlements have seen them walk from court with hundreds of millions of pounds.

Slavica Ecclestone topped the Sunday Times’ Rich List in the ‘richest divorcees’ category after she was awarded an estimated £740million in 2009 in her divorce from Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone when their 23-year marriage ended on the grounds of his ‘unreasonable behaviour’.

Coming in second was Irina Malandina who walked away with a reported £155million in 2007 from her divorce to Russian Roman Abramovich, one of the richest men in the world, after 16 years of marriage and five children together.

Glamorous former Bosnian refugee Diana Jenkins got a sizeable chunk of her ex-husband Roger Jenkins’ fortune he made as a tax expert at Barclays Bank, pocketing an estimated £150million after her ten-year marriage.


The estranged couple called their 2011 split as ‘the happiest divorce ever’ and last year she joined him among Britain’s wealthiest 500 individuals as a result.

Galina Besharova made her millions in seconds, awarded £100million in a 45-second divorce to the late Russian oligarch Boris Berezovsky in 2011 while Beverley Charman also made the top ten when she received a record-breaking £48million in 2006 after her split from millionaire businessman John Charman.

Ayesha Vardag from Vardags told The Times: ‘In England today, the single easiest way for an attractive woman to make her fortune is to marry a very rich man and then divorce him a few years later, preferably after having a child.’

Family partner at Withers Mark Harper said: 'Since 2000, divorce in England has been about sharing the fruits of the marital partnership.


'Those fruits have grown rich and luscious with the growth in international wealth and so wives divorcing in England have benefittted from the change in the law to a percentage division in assets.'
