$4.5 Billion divorce settlement!

Why can't both parties just agree to an amicable sum and not try to break the other person? You once loved them (I hope) so just try to end things as peacefully as possible. I understand the arguments of if she helped him make his money and blah blah, but it just feels empty. I guess I just don't care about money like that.

 

Broken???  Won't they both have billions???  Are you kidding me?

Marriage is considered a partnership. Thus, generally speaking, each spouse has a 50% interest in everything earned during the marriage. Someone mentioned inheritance earlier - inheritance is not considered marital property (subject to division at separation) unless converted into marital property in one way or another.

The 50% thing isn't only for rich people but mostly normal folks. If you add stipulations it wouldn't be fair. You know this going into a marriage without a prenuptial. We do not know how much she helped him in business either. I am sure they will live fine and just have to pinch millions to make it.

A billion dollars looks like this in 100 dollar bills. You’d need ten forklift rides to cart it around:

For comparison, a million dollars in 100 dollar bills looks like this – a daypack would do:

It would appear that neither party is in danger of running low on cash due to the court's ruling. However, this dispute is likely to keep two teams of lawyers employed for years to come.

    • We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.
    • I would also add that I think it's more than money.  AT has looked absolutely miserable out there at times, and there was a lot of speculation he would demand to be traded.  Personally, I thought he was a lock to be moved last year.  Maybe his hamstring is the only thing that prevents that from happening. The fact that he's not only willing to come back and play, but excited about it, really bodes well for Bryce.  AT is a veteran and he knows the game.  If he didn't have confidence in Bryce, I guarantee you he wouldn't be in a Panther uniform this year.  I'll take that as a positive.
