John and Beverly Charman

10. John and Beverly Charman - $95 million

The pair met in 1969 at school. When they married in 1976 neither had significant resources. In November 2003, Mr Charman, nicknamed "King of the London Insurance Market", told his wife he was setting up residence in Bermuda and their marriage was over. He initially offered her ￡6 million cash, but she argued that the sum was not enough. The judge decreed a fair settlement would involve him giving 37 per cent of his assets. Mr Charman had a subsequent appeal dismissed. It is thought to be Britain's highest divorce settlement.

查曼被稱為倫敦的保險業之王。他和妻子是1969年的校園情侶，1975年結婚、2003年離婚。最初他給了她六百萬英鎊的現金作為贍養費，但女方不接受。最后法院宣判查曼交出總資產的37%作為贍養費，也就是九千五百萬美元——這樁離婚案也是迄今英國贍養費最高的。
