At this very moment, Gwen Stefani is telling herself she should have signed a prenup because, after 13 years of marriage, she is being forced to fork over a payout to Gavin Rossdale. According to reports, Stefani’s net worth of $100 million might be split in half if her estranged spouse refuses the sum she is offering.
Can’t a “Hollaback Girl” keep the fortune she has amassed over the years? That is the $100 million question that Gwen Stefani and her lawyers are trying to answer after learning that her soon-to-be ex-husband, Gavin Rossdale, is not too interested in a payout, instead he wants a real chunk of her fortune.
Last week, Reba McEntire and Narvel Blackstock announced that they were heading to splitsville after 26 years, but had plans to continue working together.
Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale, who have been married for 13 years, also revealed that it was over, but unlike McEntire and Blackstock, they are not on good terms and it all has to do with money.
Stefani has a net worth of 100 to 120 million dollars thanks to her fashion line, which produces shoes, bags, and perfumes. She also stamps her name on cameras and countless other products such as:
…underclothing, as well as a line of fashion dolls. Gwen has created a line of fragrances, which she calls, Love, Lil Angel, G (for Gwen), Music and Baby. Even with the popularity of her fashion designs, products and her musical abilities, Gwen Stefani doesn’t limit herself.
The “Rich Girl” artist mainly made her fortune with her band, No Doubt, which has sold more than thirty million albums worldwide, along with tours, commercials, and not forgetting The voice and her acting career.
As for Gavin Rossdale, he has a net worth of about $35 million and according to several sources, Stefani did not want to sign a prenup when she wed him in 2002, a move she now regrets. An insider said:
“Before Gwen and Gavin got married, her business advisers recommended they get a prenup.But Gwen balked and didn’t think it was necessary because this was going to be her forever.”
Much like Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, who allegedly split over a nanny, it appears that Rossdale and Stefani are in the same situation.
According to RadarOnline, when Stefani learned of the affair earlier this year, she separated from Rossdale and asked him to move to the guest house, so he can still be close to his children – Kingston, 9, Zuma, 7, and Apollo, 17 months old.
While Stefani is sad about the split, she is even more devastated by the 50/50 California community property laws, which means that her money will be added to Rossdale’s and the total will be split evenly.
The source claimed that Stefani is hoping that her soon-to-be former husband will take the large payout she is offering and leave. The spy revealed:
“Gwen has really struggled with the idea of just handing over half of her hard-earned money to Gavin, and there is a lot of anger there. Gwen is hoping to just pay Gavin off because she doesn’t want to pay him any type of support. Gwen’s approach is that she should get to keep what is hers.”
Instead of taking the cash, Rossdale has hired celebrity divorce lawyer, Laura Wasser, in order to drag the singer to court to get her hard-earned money. Rossdale is also asking for joint custody of the couple’s three kids and has denied the cheating rumor. Meanwhile, Stefani has taken steps to try to deny spousal support to Rossdale.
