Bloomberg has classified the divorce settlement as one of the biggest wealth transfers in history. The President of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, Peter Walzer, was quoted as saying the following;

“This is the Godzilla of all divorces; nothing comes close to it because of the amount of wealth that’s being divided.”
