How Much is Russell Brand Getting from Divorce with Katy Perry?

The divorce has been filed and now comes the legal matters. The question on everybody's mind: how much will Katy Perry and Russell Brand be getting from the divorce?

It shocked the world last year when comedian Russell Brand finally decided on divorce from singer Katy Perry, with a marriage that lasted for 14 month. The cause of the divorce was cited to be "irreconcilable differences" but some sources claim otherwise. However, let's leave the finger pointing to the fans and the rest of Hollywood since there are other more vital matters at hand which would of course be the only thing to keep the case going: money.

So how much is Russell Brand getting from the divorce with his ex-wife Katy Perry?

In a post by Yahoo News, Russell Brand should be thanking his ex-wife and California law because his divorce would make him $20 million dollars richer. How come? It was simply because the couple decided not to sign the prenuptial agreement when they decided to tie the knot 14 months ago.

It is written under the California law that without a pre-nuptial agreement the couple must split their earnings 50/50. If Forbes magazine reports that Katy Perry is worth $44 million dollars just for her "Last Friday Night" and "Fireworks" hits, then the estimated divorce payout would of course out-value actor Russell Brand. Russell Brand would only be around $15 million dollars worth and thanks to his divorce, he gets more than what he's worth.

"I'm doing good," says Brand in an interview made by London's Daily Star. "Everything is going to be better next year." Would that be because he's finally getting more than what Katy Perry is worth?

Question is with the divorce papers already filed by Russell Brand and money matters already settled, will Katy Perry be showing up to sign the divorce papers or will she simply shrug them off and party with her best bud Rihanna instead?

If Katy Perry doesn't "woman" up and try to resolve her dwindling marriage issues with Russell Brand then she'll have to lose around $31 million dollars of her hard earned cash.
