Maria Shriver Initiates Divorce; Arnold Stands To Lose Millions

Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Maria Shriver has initiated the divorce process from Anorld Schwarzenegger and Arnold stands to lose millions!

Arnold’s net worth is reportedly around $300 million while Maria Shriver’s $100 million. The couple married in the state of California with no pre-nup which means their assets are supposed to be split 50/50!!

Arnold and Maria have been married for 25 years so it’s likely ALL their assets will be pooled together and divided.

But according to TMZ, Arnold and Maria’s divorce will not go to trial (who’s idea was this??) TMZ reports that the couple will settle out of court and the 50/50 split is not required. But the process becomes more tedious as they began to trade assets back and fourth like Maria keeps the house, Arnold keeps the cars..etc.

So to keep score: Arnold Schwarzenegger has an affair with his housekeeper Mildred Baena, continues to employ her for 20 years, takes them on family vacations, fathers a child with the housekeeper and keeps it a secret for nearly 14 years. Maria sticks by Arnold while he’s accused of a litany of assaults by countless women. No word on how Maria kept things up in house. But Arnold’s definitely losing this round.

So Arnold stands to lose millions, how much should Maria Shriver gain?

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
