This might explain why Tom and Nicole split

Posted by Ian on June 9, 2006 in Uncategorized |

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.

The big kiss-off ...  reportedly worth $44 million to Holmes if she splits with Cruise.

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.

    I don’t think its about the money i think it’s about the story, anything that keeps him in the headlines makes good business sense and keeps his high profile. And i don’t think it will do her any harm either, however it turns out its upped her profile.

    If I recall correctly, Nicole’s agreement was for ten years, however Tom was a little slow working this out and he filed a few months late. however, he did try to back date but Nicole had a miscarriage around the time of the split and DNA from the fetus showed that there was sexual intercourse between the couple post the ten year mark. So she got about half I think.

    I should not read the magizanes at the Doctors. I feel so dirty for knowing all that.
