The divorce between the billionaire and his wife took place in February and was finalised within the last few days. The settlement is said to be to the tune of �1 billion and will see Irina get custody of the five children, as well as four UK homes.
The divorce took place in Anadyr, Chuktova, Russia where Abramovich is governor. A source close to the family told the local newspaper: �Initially Irina asked for considerable compensation � yet not that enormous. He promised to think it over. He has never begrudged anything for his kids.�
Chief Judge Alexander Talaev played down the settlement, saying �It was a common divorce, nothing special. Just like any other.�
Roman will also pay for the children�s schooling and let Irina use his estate and luxury yacht. Nice to see the couple are still friendly, but with a reported �10 billion in the bank for Roman and the settlement Irina received, we�d be all smiles too.
