Russian oligarch Dmitry Ryboloyley is set to lose half his wealth after being ordered to pay his
former wife $4.5 billion in a settlement dubbed the "most expensive
divorce in history."
According to cnn.com, Elena Rybolovleva's lawyer Marc
Bonnant said the order from a Geneva court was unprecedented, and "this
record judgment is a complete victory."
However, Rybolovlev's spokesman
Sergey Chernitsyn said the divorce was still a "win" for the
oligarch. The two had been battling over the settlement for six years, after
Elena Rybolovleva, the oligarch's wife of 23 years, filed for divorce.
Rybolovlev's total wealth is
estimated at $8.8 billion, according to the 2014 Forbes list of billionaires.
