LONDON, England (CNN) -- The singer Madonna has settled with Guy Ritchie for $75 million, or about £50 million, as part of their divorce agreement, her representative, Liz Rosenberg, confirmed on Monday to CNN.


Madonna and Ritchie in London for the premiere of Ritchie's film "Rocknrolla" on September 1.

Film director Ritchie's spokesman made no immediate comment.

The couple was granted a preliminary decree of divorce on November 21 Britain's High Court in London.

The couple have six weeks and a day from that hearing before the divorce becomes final.

The two-part divorce is standard in Britain. The window of time allows anyone who objects to the divorce -- or has changed their minds -- to notify the court.

The couple married at Scotland's Skibo Castle eight years ago.

They have three children -- Rocco, born to the couple in 2000; David, adopted from Malawi; and Lourdes, Madonna's daughter from her previous relationship with dancer Carlos Leon.

British newspapers reported Friday that Ritchie agreed to take almost none of the singer's fortune, estimated to be around £300 million ($447 million).

Madonna is a little less materially wealthy today after she settled her divorce for up to $92 million.

The superstar's spokeswoman said she has agreed to give Guy Ritchie the huge lump sum to end their eight-year marriage.

The figure includes the value of the couple's country home Ashcombe in western England, said Madonna's spokeswoman, Liz Rosenberg.

"It's one of the largest payouts ever in a divorce settlement," Rosenberg said on Monday.

A London court last month quietly granted the couple a preliminary divorce order while they work out the details of their split.

Ritchie, 40, who is worth an estimated $45 million before the deal, had said he didn't want a slice of Madge's reported $450 million treasure trove.

While the financial component of the settlement is now done, the warring couple has yet to finalize custodial arrangements for the couple's children.

The couple has agreed to share custody of their sons, Rocco, 8, and David, 3, who was adopted from Malawi.

Madonna's daughter, Lourdes, 12, from a previous relationship will live with her in New York.

Ritchie and Madonna, 50, have traded barbs in recent weeks, with the singer suggesting her soon-to-be ex was an "emotional retard."

A representative for Ritchie declined to comment on the reported settlement.

The deal will likely outstrip the $60 million Sir Paul McCartney agreed to pay his ex-wife Heather Mills in their divorce.

It will probably rank fourth on the all-time list of celeb divorce payouts, behind the $150 million Michael Jordan and Neil Diamond paid to end their marriages and Steven Spielberg's $100 million ticket to Splitsville from ex-wife Amy Irving.

What do you get for being married to a chewed-up piece of gristle for 8 years: $76 million!!!

Vadge's spokeswhore, Liz Rosenburg, told AP that Vadge will pay Guy Ritchie anywhere from $76 to $92 million as part of their divorce settlement.

Liz said the $76 million figure also includes the value of their English country estate and the price of his nustack. He probably got an extra $10 mill for all the therapy he'll need after seeing her roided-up snatch close up.

Liz went on to say, "I'd assume it's one of the largest payouts ever in a divorce settlement."

Vadge and Guy are still working out custody arrangements for Rocco and David.

Christmas has come early for Guy, but knowing Vadge, there's probably a catch. Vadge is going to make Guy wrestle away the money from her muscly crocodile snatch. I'm sorry, but Guy is no match for her deadly crotchodile. It will swallow him whole.

you are mean!!

I thought Giy didn't want her money?

They're both rich, maybe they could have donated the money to a charity, say Bank of America or Ford?

I think this is the 3rd highest divorce settlement, or so I've read,
with Michael Jordon and Neil Diamond each tied at 150 million and
Spielberg at 100 million then Madonna at 92 million...

they call her "the singer."

that bitch hasn't been able to sing in ages! haaha!

why is Liz Rosenberg announcing this AT ALL?

is this the first time that someone has put out a statement through a publicist telling how much their divorce settlement is?


weird.

Heather Mills is a gold digging, bitch in the eyes of many and even earned her own nickname courtesy of the tabloids because of her actions. Guy is doing the exact same thing to Madonna just in a less chaotic way and look at the reactions. Once again, Madonna is the bad person in the scenario. Sexist much?

Tuls101 said:

Guy has always had his own wealth, unlike Mills. Guy hasn't publicly whinged about how much he's receiving, unlike Mills. Plus Madonna is treated far less sympathetically than Macca because she's always been controversial/confrontational whereas Paul has always been the thumps up smiley nice Beatle.
I feel sorry for the kids.

I'm getting sick of people making fun of Madonna's crotch. Something as derogatory as that article would NEVER be printed about a guy. Ever.

Why can't people just get over the fact that she's an older woman who exercises too much? Why's it ALWAYS about sex when it comes to women?!?!?

The article you're referencing is from dlisted.com, a goofy, hilarious celebrity blog, and the author is just as vulgar about men as he is women. But feel free to stick up for her crotch.

I need to divorce Madonna.

On Monday, Vadge's very own spokeswhore of a million years, Liz Rosenberg, told the world that Guy Ritchie got around $76 to $92 million for being married to a velociraptor with a nut cracker vagina. We all rejoiced and danced on our old Like A Virgin records. I'm joking about that last part. My Like A Virgin record is a prized possession. Only because my dumb fuck sister forged an autograph from Vadge on it before giving it to me as a present when we were kids. I framed it and everything! I found out a couple of years later she lied to me and committed forgery! Heartbreaking and illegal. Okay, I really found out last week.

Anyway, Vadge and Guy have issued a joint statement saying the settlement amount is completely wrong. Vadge said (with Guy's nuts still in her claws), "We have tried to maintain a dignified silence regarding the details of our divorce for the last few months whilst accepting the obvious media interest. A misleading and inaccurate statement, specifically in relation to the sums of money involved, was wrongly issued to AP this week. The financial details of the settlement will remain private, save to say that both of us are happy with our agreement. Our primary concern, like any co-parents, is the care and well being of our children."

Please, this shit was all planned out. Vadge was so angry that she started gritting her pussy teeth when everyone called Guy Ritchie "saint of the year" for walking away from her fortune. So in order to rain on Guy's good guy parade, Vadge had her spokesbitch make that little announcement knowing that she would issue her own statement a few days later claiming the amount is all wrong.

Everything is so damn complicated in Vadge's life! Fuck. She needs Neicy Nash and the Clean House team to visit her brains and get rid of all the damn clutter. I swear. She makes everything so damn difficult.

And if Liz is the one that fucked up, well, then we probably won't hear from her ass for a while, because she's being held in Vadge's jail cell crotch. If you happen to walk by Vadge in the next few days, throw a few stale bread crumbs towards her vagina for Liz to snack on.

Damn, did Madge get "K'Feded"?
