It’s hard to say goodbye, but when you’re famous, it’s also expensive and tragically public. Celebrity divorces—especially ones that come out of nowhere—have a way of dominating headlines for days, maybe even weeks and months. Here, a look back at some of the most high-profile divorces in recent history.
This fact is proved through the following divorces, which are said to be the most expensive B-town divorces to date.
