BRITISH actor-comedian Russell Brand is set to make up to £20 million from his divorce from wife Katy Perry, according to reports.
The comedian is in line for the huge lump sum in a 50/50 split of the couple’s earnings even after just 14 months of marriage.Brand, 36, and Perry, 27, didn’t sign a pre-nuptial agreement when they married in October so under Californian law, he could be entitled to half of her fortune.Brand announced on Friday that the couple’s marriage was over after they spent Christmas apart and his lawyers filed divorce papers at Los Angeles Superior Court citing ‘irreconcilable differences’ between the pair who met at the MTV Music Awards in 2009.The Star reported that according to Forbes Magazine, Perry is worth £28 million, a fortune that industry insiders said has rocked recently to at least £45 million due to her non-stop touring and commercial ventures.Brand, in contrast, has a net worth of about £11 million from his stand-up tours and a string of hit movies including ‘Get Him To The Greek’ and the remake of the Dudley Moore film ‘Arthur’.- www.dailymail.co.uk
