First of all, I'm shocked that the gods allow Mel Gibson to be worth billions, but go figure. Secondly, I don't care WHO you are married to, noone is "entitled" to a billion bucks. Am I wrong here? Exactly what role did she play in EARNING any of those mega-millions? Are you telling me that it's as simple as marrying a rich dummy (no pre-nup, right?) and you can get half of everything for NO reason whatsoever other than having been hitched? Something is wrong with this.

It's insane. A settlement? Certainly. But an automatic half? Of THAT much money? Puleeze.
