Divorce Settlement: In March of 2013, various news outlets reported that Harold and his wife Sue Ann Hamm were seeking what could have potentially been the most expensive divorce in human history. Sue Ann filed for divorce in Oklahoma on May 19, 2012 after being married for nearly 25 years. The couple has two children who are both over the age of 18. Sue Ann reportedly filed for divorce after catching Harold cheating. Sue Ann was seeking half of Harold’s fortune which reached as high as $20 billion during the proceedings.
Some analysts thought Sue Ann could have been entitled to $8-9 billion dollars! That would have been more than four times bigger than the current largest divorce of all time, Rupert Murdoch’s $1.7 billion settlement with ex-wife Anna Murdoch. In November 2014, an Oklahoma judge put an end to the case and ordered Harold to pay Sue Ann $1 billion. Harold was ordered to pay $300 million in cash by the end of 2014 and the remaining balance in monthly installments with interest. Here’s a copy of the $970 million check he cut:
