Prince Charles & Princess Diana: ~ $23 Million Settlement
They sold it to us a fairy tale union. Prince Charles of Britain married Diana Spencer, they had two children and everything was perfect. However, all was not well from the beginning in the loveless marriage, as he famously cheated on her from the start.
In 1996, the couple divorced, and she got to walk away with $23 million, but had to leave her two boys behind with the royal family. Buckingham Palace said that Diana would get a lump-sum payment instead of monthly payments, but she was paid $600,000 a year to hold her office.
