Jordan divorce most costly ever: Forbes

Michael and Juanita Jordan

　　Divorce has its price - and no celeb, it appears, knows that better than Michael Jordan.

　　The basketball superstar's split last December from his wife of 17 years, Juanita, is No. 1 on Forbes.com's list of "The 10 Most Expensive Celebrity Divorces."

　　Juanita Jordan could possibly "get more than $150 million in a settlement, making the Jordan divorce the most expensive in entertainment history," Forbes said.

　　Neil Diamond, whose 1995 divorce from Marcia Murphey cost him an estimated $150 million, holds second place.

　　Steven Spielberg comes in third for paying his ex-wife Amy Irving an estimated $100 million, which was then half his fortune, when they divorced in 1989. The Oscar-winning director is now worth $3 billion.

　　Also making the list are estimated settlements between Harrison Ford and Melissa Mathison ($85 million); Kevin Costner and Cindy Silva ($80 million); Paul McCartney and Heather Mills, whose divorce could cost him more than $60 million; James Cameron and Linda Hamilton ($50 million); Michael and Diandra Douglas ($45 million and two homes); Lionel and Diane Richie ($20 million); and Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall ($15 to $25 million).

　　Forbes said they researched divorces of the last 25 years in compiling the list, which was posted Thursday on its Web site.

　　The results were also the subject of a one-hour special aired Saturday (6 p.m. EDT) on the E! Entertainment Network.

　　离婚也有价格，这一点迈克尔·乔丹可能比任何一位名人的体会都要深。

　　去年12月，这位篮球巨星与结婚17年的妻子胡安妮塔离婚，他的离婚代价高居福布斯网站“十大最昂贵的名人离婚榜”榜首。

　　据福布斯介绍，胡安妮塔·乔丹可能将“得到1.5亿多美元的财产，这使乔丹的离婚成为娱乐史上最为昂贵的一桩名人离婚”。

　　1995年与妻子马西娅·墨菲离婚的内尔·戴蒙德以1.5亿美元的离婚代价位居第二。

　　1989年与妻子阿梅·艾尔文离婚的斯皮尔伯格以1亿美元的代价名列第三，这在当时相当于他全部财产的一半。这位奥斯卡最佳导演目前的身价为30亿。

　　同时上榜的名人离婚还包括哈里森·福特与梅莉莎·马西森（8500万美元）、凯文·科斯特纳与辛迪·席尔瓦（8000万美元）、保尔·麦卡特尼与海瑟·米尔斯（离婚代价为6000多万美元）、.詹姆斯·卡梅隆与琳达·汉密尔顿（5000万美元）、迈克尔与迪安德拉·道格拉斯（4500万美元和两处房产）；莱昂内尔和黛安·里奇（2000万美元）以及米克·贾格尔与杰丽·霍尔（1500万美元至2500万美元）。

　　这一排行榜于上周四在福布斯网站上公布。据福布斯介绍，这一排行榜的汇编完成主要基于对过去25年中名人离婚的调查。

　　此外，这一排行榜成为E! Entertainment Network于周六播出的一小时特别节目的话题。
