  1. A thoroughly awful headline:

    Gibson's ex-wife gets estimated $425M in divorce

    Settlement believed to be biggest in Hollywood history; pair had no prenup

    She didn't "get" anything, those were assets she retained, because she already owned them.

    And, no prenup? Pre-nup agreements are most often focused on terms for dissolving a marriage in its first year or decade, providing an equitable, but less than 50%, distribution of assets, to the less affluent spouse.

    They were together for 28 years.

  2. That's his fault that he's not having that necessary prenup.
