Would you say no to this jaw breaking payment under any circumstance? A jaw-dropping photo reveals the handwritten $974.8 million divorce settlement check rejected as too skimpy by the ex-wife of a billionaire oil tycoon, according to nypost.
Sue Ann Arnall, 56, scoffed at the jackpot-size payout from former hubby Harold Hamm CEO of the energy company Continental Resources demanding more money because he was allowed to keep the bulk of his $13.5 billion fortune.
The check, penned in bubbly handwriting, was made out for a mind-numbing $974,790,317.77 on Monday. The couple was married for 26 years.
The sky-high sum was delivered to Arnall’s legal team on Tuesday, but was promptly turned away, according to Hamm’s lawyer, Michael Burrage. “Ms. Arnall, through her counsel, stated that they were rejecting the . . . payment because Ms. Arnall did not want to risk the dismissal of her appeal by acceptance of the benefits,” Burrage said in a statement on Tuesday.
Arnall plans to appeal a November divorce court ruling that granted her $995 million, along with other assets worth tens of millions more, such as a California ranch and an Oklahoma home, her legal team said at the time.
But she claims she was shortchanged because she stood by Hamm loyally, working as an executive for the firm and using her skills as a lawyer and economist to help it succeed.
