It

Mike Tyson and Robin Givens

Divorced in/Length of marriage: 1989/Eight months

Settlement: $10 million

Chris Evert and Andy Mill

Divorced in/Length of marriage: 2006/18 years

Settlement: $7 million in cash and $4-million mansion (to Mills)

Complex says: The former No. 1 female tennis player in the world and Olympic skier split when Evert ditched him for the couple's friend, golfer Greg Norman. After the divorce, Mill said he wished the couple "happiness"...which really meant, "Fuck you, pay me!"

Michael and Jean Strahan

Divorced in/Length of marriage: 2006/Seven years

Settlement: $15 million and $180,000 per month in child support

Complex says: Jean ended up taking over half of Strahan's $22 million in assets, saying the 180k in child support--including $27,000 on clothing--was because their toddler daughters love accessories.

Jeff and Brooke Gordon

Divorced In/Length of Marriage: 2002/Eight years

Settlement: $15.3 million

Complex says: This divorce turned messy when Brooke demanded alimony, two cars, and use of the couple's boats and airplane. Since then, Jeff's moved on to marry one of the hottest Nascar wifeys in the game. We're betting he got a prenup this time.

Alex and Cynthia Rodriguez

Divorced in/Length of marriage: 2008/Six years

Settlement: Undisclosed

Complex says: Cynthia asked for the couple's $12-million home, alimony, child support, and assets the couple acquired while married. Instead of wifin' her, A-Rod should have been like Jeter and stuck to catchin' bodies!

Shaq and Shaunie O'neal

Divorced in/Length of marriage: 2009/Seven years

Settlement: Undisclosed

Complex says: Reports of everything from Shaq smashing Gilbert Arenas' fiancee to Shaunie hooking up with her personal trainer led to this couple's split. Settlement numbers have been kept confidential, but c'mon fam: it's Shaq. Nothing is ever small about Shaq. Pause.

Greg Norman and Laura Andrassy

Divorced in/Length of marriage: 2008/27 years

Settlement: $103 million

Complex says: Laura is making sure she gets every penny, literally. In 2009, she filed a complaint over a $66,500 payment that Norman was late on. Between her and Elin, these golf WAGs be gettin' it in.
