Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas Next in the "making marriage pay" category is Catherine Zeta-Jones. Her prenup with "Wall Street" star Michael Douglas entitles her to $2.8 million per each year the marraige remains in effect. When Zeta-Jones was asked about the agreement she had the following to say:
"I think prenups are brilliant," Zeta-Jones chirps in the January issue of Vanity Fair, admitting that under her prenup with Douglas, "I get taken care of very well."
Most would probably find this to be a very mercenary approach to marriage, but what can you expect when you marry the man famous for saying that greed is good?

Roseanne Barr was so in love with Tom Arnold before their 1990 wedding that she fired her attorney for suggesting she sign a prenup. When the couple divorced four years later, Arnold left with $50 million.
Is it so wrong she believed it would last? Hope she's at least still getting royalties from all those Roseanne reruns.
That's going way too far. A court would never go along with that one.

Yep, speaking as a husband that would come under “cruel and unusual”.
any guy who agrees to this stupid provision deserves to be taken for all his money.
Talking about prenups, Scarlett HoHansson just got married to Ryan “over acting” Reynolds. How long do you think that marriage will last?
Either you are being sarcastic or you have never been to divorce court.
Didja see the winky smiley face? That was your clue.

Hopefully as long as Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward. Seriously I wish them well. At least they are each only on their first marriage...you never know.
Dude. Wrong picture.
An elderly couple had been dating and decided to get married. She wrote down what she wanted and asked him to sign the agreement. She read the agreement to him.
I want to keep my house.
OK
I want to keep my Cadillac.
Ok
I want to keep my wedding rings from John.
Ok
I want sex five times a week.
Ok Put me down for Fridays.

I’m sure they are happy.
2.8 million a year? Not a bad deal for a year with Catherine Zeta-Jones.
Tom Arnold “earned” the money in my opinion. I wouldn’t have spent 5 minutes with Rosanne for $50 Million.
