Chapter 531: Not Learning from the Experience of the Predecessors
Billy told Xiao Peng an incredible story about Akhmedov's divorce.
The sky-high divorce judgment between Akhmedov and his ex-wife has given countless young girls a sweet dream – how nice it would be if I were given that money?
In fact, Akhmedov's ex-wife also thought so.
Although the British court ruled that Ahmedov should give his ex-wife 646 million US dollars, in fact his ex-wife did not receive a penny.
Why are foreign lawyers so fabulously wealthy? It's basically because here, as long as you have the money, you can file lawsuits endlessly! While legal fees aren't cheap, compared to the 646 million yuan divorce bill, they're a drop in the bucket!
So the two have been engaged in a lawsuit for the past few years, and Ahmedov's ex-wife has only received 5 million in child support so far. It's not even enough to cover her legal fees...
The British court was also helpless with Akhmedov. This was clearly a ruling, but he ignored it. Isn't this challenging the authority of the law? So the British court ruled that the "Luna" was discounted by 350 million and became the asset of Akhmedov's ex-wife.
Ahmedov refused to accept the offer and simply sailed his ship out of the UK, leaving the British court unable to enforce the order. Therefore, the case continues to be litigated.
Meanwhile, Ahmedov's ex-wife, no pushover, did something she regrets to this day. Since Ahmedov's ship couldn't remain at sea permanently, the Luna made a routine stop in Dubai. She then directly contacted Dubai authorities, claiming the ship belonged to her. She then seized the ship and filed a lawsuit against Ahmedov in Dubai. Ultimately, Ahmedov's ex-wife lost the case—after all, the lawsuit in the UK was still pending, so how could she claim the ship was hers? By then, the Luna had been detained in Dubai for 37 weeks.
Ahmedov is no pushover. After a Dubai court ruled against his ex-wife, he sued her again, alleging she had delayed renting his yacht for 37 weeks, averaging $1.35 million per week. He demanded $50 million in compensation from her. This left his ex-wife stunned and she launched another lawsuit, refusing to pay him the compensation.
It is no exaggeration to say that Akhmedov has pushed his ex-wife into a desperate situation: now his ex-wife relies on the living expenses provided by the litigation financing company to survive. The five million yuan she got from Akhmedov has long been turned into legal fees, and she still owes a large sum of money to the litigation financing company.
Now Akhmedov's ex-wife has only one option left: that he show mercy. What if she wins the case? If Akhmedov keeps suing and it's impossible to enforce the lawsuit, she won't get the money!
I guess Akhmedov understood: If I spend two million every year on the lawsuit for a hundred years, that's only two hundred million. It's better than giving my ex-wife over six hundred million all at once, right?
This incident should serve as a stark warning to those women who want to hook up with rich men: hooking up with a rich man doesn't guarantee wealth. When Ahmedov's ex-wife met him, it was a typical "old-young couple" and "marriage for pregnancy." She was only 17 years old at the time, and it was basically a case of "getting married after a date." After being a wealthy wife for a few years, she no longer wanted to be with her husband and wanted to enjoy the money, which led to her current situation.
Those gold-diggers only saw that Bezos gave his ex-wife 38 billion; Murdoch gave his ex-wife 1.7 billion US dollars; Jordan gave his ex-wife 168 million... Little did they know that the result of most of "hanging out with rich men" is: you take as much as I want, otherwise you will have nothing.
Just like Ahmedov's ex-wife, when they divorced, the initial agreement was to give her 5 million first and then 300,000 every year until her death. This amount was enough to guarantee her a lifetime of wealth and prosperity. As a result, Ahmedov's ex-wife was not satisfied, and she sued him with the 5 million Ahmedov gave her.
In the end, we did win the case and were given a sky-high breakup fee, but what can we do if we can't enforce it?
Facts have proven that every rich person has his own reasons for being rich. Can a girl who left school in her teens and married into a wealthy family outplay a rich man?
And it's clear that Akhmedov's ex-wife didn't learn from Ivana Marie Zelnikova.
Who is Ivana? She's Trump's first wife and the mother of "Royal Princess" Ivanka.
From an outsider's perspective, Ivana is a very calculating woman: she was originally a Czech skier who competed in the Olympics. After becoming famous, she immigrated to Canada by marrying a Canadian, then entered the modeling industry and met the then-rich Trump. After divorce, she remarried and became a wealthy wife. This experience is exactly the same as that of one of Murdoch's ex-wives, Deng Xiaoping. While many Chinese people lament Deng Xiaoping's experience, they don't realize that this is all leftover from Ivana's decades-old activities.
Deng Xiaoping, a Chinese who understands the principle of "contentment is the greatest happiness," received less than one percent of Murdoch's fortune when she divorced him. But that was still hundreds of millions of dollars! Enough for a lifetime of prosperity. Meanwhile, Ivana Trump was dissatisfied with her share of wealth when she divorced Trump, and she engaged in an endless legal battle with him, much like the current Akhmedov lawsuit.
But Trump was even more ruthless than Ahmedov. He directly filed for bankruptcy and refused to pay a penny!
Of course, this so-called "bankruptcy" is just a joke. The bankruptcy of the poor and the bankruptcy of the rich are not the same concept.
"Bankruptcy" for the poor means being unable to eat or wear clothes, while bankruptcy for the rich is simply a means of transferring wealth for maximum profit. Trump has gone bankrupt many times, and each time he went bankrupt, his wealth increased significantly.
Take, for example, the famous "LeEco" (LeEco) debtor Jia Yueting. He may be bankrupt, but he still owns five luxury homes in Los Angeles alone. The smallest is over 500 square meters! The largest is a seaside manor with a lawn, garden, and swimming pool. He lives better than 99.9999% of the world!
Ivana's situation at the time was essentially the same as Akhmedov's ex-wife's current situation: she would go bankrupt if she didn't get child support! Ultimately, Ivana negotiated with Trump and received $20 million in child support, only one-twentieth of the amount she had originally envisioned. After paying the lawyer's fees, there wasn't much left.
But Ivana is indeed a smart and ambitious woman: after becoming a wealthy wife, she has been constantly learning and improving herself and has excellent business skills. Although she did not get much money, she quickly made a fortune by using the traffic and fame attracted by this incident.
Even such a smart woman knows to give in, but Ahmedov’s ex-wife chose to fight back?
idiot!
