It's all about the money, honey...

Revlon CEO, Ron Perelman is the 34th richest man in America and woth approximately $6 billion. He recently served divorce papers on his fourth wife, actress Ellen Barkin. Based on the pre-nup she can expect to receive more than $20 million.

Perelman's third wife received $30 million and found herself with a custody battle for their daughter. His second wife, who also had a child with Pereleman, received $80 million. None of these marriages lasted longer than nine years.

His first wife is the mother of four of his children and their marriage lasted nearly twenty years. She recieved $8 million in their divorce.

This should serve as an inspirational tale for all the golddiggers out there. Marrying for love only gets you $8 mil.

I married for love. I haven't gotten my check yet.

Let's be happy for Ellen Barkin. Have we seen her in any movies lately?

"Marry for money,
You'll earn every penny,"
With interest collect
When your interest is gone.

You needn't a wedding
To get paid for a bedding,
And your interests protect.
Just ask Jessica Hahn.

I hear Monica L.
Is doing quite well.
And she never did marry
"The Creep" of her dreams,

A smartypants bimbo,
(or even a him-bo)
Says "Marry? Contrary!
It's not in my scheme."

Nearly 70% of all marriages that end are due to financial stress. Add to that crushing statistic that divorce has not only become acceptable, but nearly inevitable! Why? Because we as a society don't take the time to do the work up front to ensure lifelong happiness. In fact, many smart, single girls revert back to schoolgirl fantasies once the ring goes on their finger. Faster than their guy can get up off of bended knee, these girls are pulling out the bridal magazines and obsessing over napkins and cake flavors. Combining two well-lived lives requires as much attention, more in fact, as planning a fairytale wedding. So Every Single Girl's Guide To Her Future Husband's Last Divorce is my contribution to all future second wives out there so they can learn the ropes without getting in the ring. We owe it to ourselves and our families to protect our ASSets!
