Robyn's divorce: Most expensive celeb split ever?

[noamnety]

Yesterday, the news broke that Robyn Gibson had filed for divorce from her husband of 28 years citing "irreconcilable differences."

Today, details are starting to trickle forth. Robyn's husband responded to her divorce petition, maintaining that they couple have actually been separated since August 26, 2006, which is just about one month after his much-publicized July 28, 2006 arrest for drunk driving.

And as for the fate of her estimated $1 billion fortune?

(snip)

It is widely believed that the couple, who have seven children, do not have a prenuptial agreement. Because they reside in California which has community property laws that require marital assets acquired throughout the marriage to be split equally, Mel Gibson is most likely entitled to half of the family's fortune.

Do you think Robyn's husband deserves half of her considerable assets? More? Less?
