Wife Rejects $975 Million Divorce Cheque by Xion: 11:54am On Jan 07, 2015
Not everyone gets to see a check for $975
million with their name on it. But after a
highly contentious divorce, Sue Ann Arnall
is looking for more.

She rejected the check her ex-husband Harold
Hamm sent her Monday, according to his
attorneys.

Hamm agreed to pay the nearly $1 billion back in
November. He's somewhat of a legend in the oil
business, having built Continental Resources ( )
from the ground up and led the development of
North Dakota's Bakken oil field.

But Arnall, an economist and a lawyer who held
executive positions in the company, has said she
is entitled to more . She filed for an appeal,
claiming that the fortune was due to both her work
and his.

Arnall's attorney did not immediately respond to a
request for comment.

The couple was married for 26 years, have two
children and had no prenuptial agreement.
To make things even messier, Hamm himself filed
for an appeal as well. He claims that with the
dramatic drop in oil prices , his company's value
has taken a hit, along with his wealth.
Despite writing the check, Hamm will move forward
with his appeal, his attorney Craig Box said

I don't think she wants to divorce the man. She's non verbally telling the man that the marriage is more important than his money. It's like she wants to fix it

Hence Nigerian women will keep remaining slaves, an agreement is an agreement he should stick to it, its not about the money. You are ready to sit eat shit pray and fast and take whatever crumbs is thrown your way she isn't, thats why our women here will continue to open lamentation threads everyday, he beat me, he cheated, he wont sleep with me, and they continue to get shitty advice while those who have standards hold on to their standards and insist the right thing be done. Don't hate, raise your own standards from a professional shi-t chopper to a woman who knows what she wants and stands by it

Ha ha. Exactly my thought. But, shebi she was paid for her services as an employee of the firm? To me, her request shouldnt be based on the fact that sge worked for the firm(unless she wasnt getting paid plus she is being fired) she should ask for more based on the fact that they are married and her role as a good wife gave him the opportunity to chase his financial dreams as she was caring for the home front and kids even as a full time worker. Plus she knows the finacial balance of the family they both raised so she is demanding for more. That, is how I feel sha.

A Judge will determine that. The thing is we here are used to managing hence we don't understand when people stand for what they believe in, we hardly stand for anything so we may not understand why she won't just " manage" and shut up.
Thats the thing with principles its not about the money, if you believe in something you can be ready to loose it all to make your point. If they agreed he should stick to it, if she is aggrieved she is right to seek redress, a Judge may agree or disagree with her

We are saying tge same thing. She should get more if ahe feels there is plentyyy more from where that cane from. I am just talking based on her reason for asking for more.
Can a mans worker ask for half of the companys earning just because he worked for the man? Unless she and the guy are shareholders sha.
Re: Wife Rejects $975 Million Divorce Cheque by Kimoni: 1:28pm On Jan 07, 2015
It's not about the amount on the cheque, it's about how much she is truly worth. If she can prove she is worth more than that to the judges, then so be it.

All what you wrote above is based on presumption.... am not saying you are not correct. but you have to understand the context in which they made that comment......by the way no where in the article it was stated that he treats her badly.......She is just being greedy,that's a fact, she is making it look like she never gained any thing from the marriage and her all she did was to baby sit him. Again what happened to be an independent woman,at least she is earning or does being independent means seeking more money from her husby just because they fell out of love?

Unless she and the guy are shareholders sha.

Where I live, husband and wife are shareholders in EVERYTHING they acquired during their marriage.
It is called community property law. In the case of a divorce,everything is split down the middle 50-50 regardless who is the bringer of the wealth whether husband or wife.
In fact the person who stays home to be the home keeper could get a higher share if the judge determines and his/her lawyer is able to prove that having stayed home all those years limited their earning potential and as such is considered a sacrifice on that person's part to make the marriage work.

This lady here says she worked with the husband for 26yrs. Who knows how much their company grew in those years? And if her contribution in keeping home and work afloat made them last that long, that could be considered as equal contriubtion even in a non-community law system state. If she has a good lawyer she can get her rightful 50percent.

If the company is worth 10billion dollars(assumption) and he's giving her less than one billion,that's not fair. It is cheating.

But then we don't know how much their company is worth so I can't really say whether the wife is right or being greedy.
But just thought you should that husband and wife are shareholders in each other's earnings

I just don't understand how some men can let such a fleeting and undependable emotion as love blind them so much that they forget/see no need to sign a simple prenuptial agreement.

Ain't no time to be allowing angry, bitter and greedy ex-wives the opportunity to fight you for half your worth and still have the guts to ask for more after being offered a large sum - I mean, $975m?

Is she a witch?
And she's not even a black woman... darn..

Pre-nups are for before weddings. Maybe he was poor before they got married. Or didn't have a significant wealth that calls for prenup.

How do you even know the money is half their worth? It could be way less than half. And half is rightfully hers

Ok I googled the man and he's worth a whooping 18billion dollars and all he could offer was less than one billion? He's greedy.

26yrs of her life spent helping you build your worth to 18billion and you're offering less than a billion.
Smh.

He should just try and make it 3billion. That's way less than half but I'm sure she will accept it so that she won't wreck his business.
