Like I said yesterday, there have been numerous varying reports on the amount that Guy Ritchie has gotten in his divorce settlement with Madonna. Today is no different.
On Monday, Madonna’s longtime publicist, Liz Rosenberg, told the AP, a pretty upstanding news source, that the amount of $76 million was a correct figure. Adding to that, the couple’s estate in London topped it off at a lovely $92 million.
Well now both Madonna and Guy are disputing those numbers, saying they are “misleading and inaccurate.”
Of course.
The ex-couple released the following joint statement,
“A misleading and inaccurate statement, specifically in relation to the sums of money involved, was wrongly issued to AP this week. The financial details of the settlement will remain private, save to say that both of us are happy with our agreement. Our primary concern, like any co-parents, is the care and well being of our children.”
Um, ok. Whatever. It just seems weird to me that Madge’s trusted rep would confirm the information if it weren’t true. She hasn’t been the pop granny’s publicist for so long for nothing.
Me thinks the amount reported was probably correct, but that Guy doesn’t want to look like a total chump and wanted the story recanted.
Ya think?
[...] Guy and Madonna deny divorce settlement rumors going around. However, I can confirm one thing: They’re both stinkin’ rich. [Smack] [...]
Don’t really see why he’d feel like a chump, women have been accepting huge pay-outs from men for many years, why not the other way around? Let’s face it, after however many years with that leathery geriatric, he deserves a chunk of change! I think it’s more like Madonna’s sycophants put out what they thought she wanted to hear and were called on it.
