Demi Moore surprised fans when she announced in 2011 that she was ending her marriage to Ashton Kutcher after six years together. The famous couple began dating a few years after Moore split from first husband Bruce Willis and, according to Mirror, sealed the deal at a wedding in Beverly Hills on September 24, 2005. Despite controversy surrounding the he huge 16-year age gap between Moore and Kutcher, they proved unshakeable and a picture of pure marital bliss when reports of Kutcher’s infidelity first hit the headlines in 2010. Moore confirmed their split less than a year after the scandal broke, E! News, “It is with great sadness and heavy heart that I have decided to end my six year marriage to Ashton. As a woman, mother and wife, there are certain values and vows that I hold sacred, and it is in this spirit that I have chosen to move forward in my life. »
Per People, Kutcher formally filed for divorce in Los Angeles Superior Court in December 2012, citing age-old “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for her split from Moore. The “GI Jane” actor followed up with his own petition in March 2013, asking for spousal support from her ex-husband, and wanted him to pay his legal fees according to the Los Angeles Times. But was it granted? Did Moore come out of her divorce with a pretty penny?
Demi Moore has asked for $20 million in her divorce settlement from Ashton Kutcher
Per Page Six, Demi Moore has requested child support in her divorce settlement from Ashton Kutcher on the grounds that the ‘Two and a Half Men’ star cheated on her during their marriage. At the time, Moore was considered one of the highest-paid women in Hollywood with an estimated net worth of $150 million, while Kutcher was the highest-paid actor on television, all thanks to his role in “Two And a Half Men”. for which he reportedly earned $750,000 per episode, according to the Daily Mail. Additionally, Kutcher has also invested in technology companies through his company A-Grade Investments. The actor was said to have made $20 million from those investments, and Moore wanted to get half his share, per Radar Online.
Kutcher, however, ultimately refused to pay spousal support and instead gave Moore a large payout as part of their divorce settlement. Although it’s unclear how much he paid his ex-wife, Marie Claire reported that Moore demanded £18million from Kutcher in his divorce filings. As for dividing their properties, TMZ claimed that the couple essentially split the assets they acquired throughout their six-year marriage. Ultimately, Moore and Kutcher came away satisfied with how their settlement worked out, according to the outlet.
