Morgan Freeman to pay nine digit divorce settlement?
Morgan Freeman’s wife Myrna stands to net more than $100 million in a potential divorce settlement from the actor. Freeman and his wife of 24 years have been separated for more than a year. From Bill Zwecker at the Chicago Sun Times:
Original estimates put the actor’s net worth in the $75 million to $90 million range, but now it is being reported he may be worth as much as three to four times that amount.
Among assets contributing to the actor’s bounty are a very valuable gold coin collection, a rare stamp collection, a $7 million home in the Virgin Islands, real estate in Freeman’s native Mississippi worth nearly $30 million (including a $5 million personal home), a $10 million New York apartment and a $15 million Los Angeles estate.
”Morgan has always remembered what it was like to be a poor, struggling actor, and as a result he has always been very careful with his money. Morgan isn’t cheap, but he has always been pretty frugal,” a longtime associate told me Tuesday. (Source)
This is exactly why you shouldn’t get married. You’ll find yourself spending your whole adult life accumulating wealth only to see half of it flushed down the toilet in an instant. If I wanted that sort of return on my money, I’d invest it in the stock market.

A-Rod’s getting a little on the side
They haven’t even gone public with their relationship, yet Alex Rodriguez is already cheating on Madonna. A witness at Miami’s LIV nightclub last Friday night claims Rodriguez was flirting with a number of women and even got one’s number. In Touch Weekly adds:
Weeks earlier, when Madonna was miles away on tour, A-Rod spent days flirting with Wilhelmina model Melissa Britos, whom he’d met at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach on November 14. “He became obsessed with her,” Melissa’s pal reveals. “He sent her at least a dozen text messages, asking her to spend time with him.” Even though the model claims that she and A-Rod are just friends, a few days later, the baseball player was seen dropping Melissa off at her hotel, the Gansevoort, at 7 a.m. She was wearing the same clothes she had on the night before.
It’s sad to hear that A-Rod moved on to another woman. I thought he and Madonna would be the perfect match since they both had so much in common: their use of growth hormones, their desire to perform in front of large crowds, and their affinity for hair products. Hopefully A-Rod’s new fling will be a better fit than Madonna was . . . meaning he won’t be able to fit his entire head inside of this one.
