How Much is Too Much? 3 million a year? Kevin Costner and Christine Baumgartner's Divorce

How much should a spouse get when they divorce after 18 years and children are involved? According to Kevin Costner's ex-wife, close to half, even though she signed the truly ridiculous prenup. Kevin is reportedly worth 400 million; she claims he made 300 million during the marriage. His first wife got a huge chunk because they had no prenup. After all, he wasn't a massive star when they hooked up; they were university students. Cindy Silva got 80 million of the money  they  earned; she deserved it. She was there for the low times of the struggle, and when he needed her to make sacrifices for his career, she did. Now, she's remarried to a man with his own fortune; they live privately and are reportedly very happy.  But how much should someone when they are set to marry a well-established celebrity or someone with a lot of money? Prenups are for everyone and not just for the super wealthy. Getting a prenup is good if you have property or an inheritance. That seems fair to me
