2. Michael Jordan and Juanita Vanoy

Divorce Settlement Amount - $260 Million

Jordan and his wife, Vanoy, were a happy couple but not all stories have a happy ending. Their divorce settlement has been ranked among the most expensive divorce settlements in tinsel-town. As of April 2007, the separation of Jordan and Vanoy has been called as "the most expensive celebrity divorce" by Forbes magazine. Like almost all cases of couples splitting, Jordan and Vanoy separated as Jordan had found another love. It is another dismal case where Jordan had left his wife for a younger woman. Jordan is said to have fallen for Karla Knafel. It is also speculated that Jordan had paid Knafel $250,000 to keep their relationship a secret. Falling for a younger person has sort of become a trend among celebs. So, when it comes to infidelity, not even sportspersons are spared or rather tempted.
