Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman split rather suddenly after 10 years together.
The reported pre-nuptial agreement between Cruise and Katie Holmes might explain why. She gets $4m for every year they remain together, up to 11 years. After 11 years, the agreement becomes void and Holmes becomes entitled to half of Cruise’s assets.

Given that Cruise is reported to be worth something like $450m, 10 years = $40m, vs 12 years = $225m, bailing out at 10 years makes great financial sense. Its the economically rational thing to do, one might argue.
Wonder if Nicole had a similar sort of pre-nuptial agreement with Tom?
Perhaps I’m being overly cynical and it was just his zealous adherence to the wackiness of Scientology that pushed them apart.
