A ouple of amazing court rulings in the UK and a major Ka Ching! for women divorcing rich husbands. This must be one of the best investment strategies I’ve heard of. No initial capital needed, certain physical attributes are probably helpdul though. Just marry a rich guy, divorce him a couple of years later and live happily ever after.

Mrs Miller was told she could keep the £5m she was originally awarded after the break-up of her childless, 2¾-year marriage to a rich man, which comes to £4,935.83 a day as the tabloids unkindly pointed out, and Mrs McFarlane was told that as well as half the couple’s assets, she was entitled to £250,000 a year from her former husband, a tax specialist, for as long as she needs it.

Lovely condition on the annual US$460,000 a year awared to Mrs McFarlane. Hmm I think she will need it for a while, don’t you?

    Eyal, have you see this? Maybe the International Standards Coucil will adopt it and make things, you know, official.
