She probably will, it makes my heart to think about it, but she probably will get half of what was made after marriage. Although I am not sure what the law reads on funds that are from pre-marriage investments, stock options etc.
For example, I believe in some states that a house or property owned prior to marriage is not subject to the division of assets.
Although it really is hard to value Mrs. Welch's contribution to the wealth of the couple. It might have been "hey hun, I wanted to add a few thousand I made to your one billion, just to show I am doing my part"
But I will say, if she gets a huge settlement, that the best career option for many women might be a wife of a wealthy man.
