Jamie Cooper-Hohn was granted a $530million divorce settlement from husband Finance guru-Christopher Hohn by the judge in the London High Court yesterday November the 27th. The couple separated in 2014 after being together for 17years. They have 4 children, triplets aged 12 and the other one aged 15. Jamie is American and the British son of a Jamaican Immigrant.
The settlement is said to be the highest divorce settlement in the history of Britain. Initially Mrs Cooper Hohn wanted half of their fortune saying she also contributed immensely to the amassing of their wealth with Mr Hohn saying he was only ready to give her a quarter of the fortune because it is his gift as a finance investor which brought them the $1.3billion fortune. He even referred to himself as an "unbelievable money-maker and he doesn't care that much about money.
Jamie received $493million in cash and the balance will be settled in form of a property in Connecticut. The full judgement on the matter will be given in December. The couple is said to be humble and not flush. They met whilst studying at Harvard University in the USA.
Just passing by zebra crossing.
