Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes Prenup
Interestingly, Tom Cruise is paying Katie Holmes to be his wife for a while. MSNBC has the exclusive scoop:
Their lawyers have come up with a contract that will give Holmes $3 million a year up to $33 million for each year that she is married to Cruise, as well as a palatial home in Montecito, California, according to Life & Style Weekly. If the marriage lasts longer than eleven years, the contract becomes void and California’s community property law kicks in — giving Holmes half of Cruise’s rather sizeable fortune.
So, if Tom Cruise gets tired of a family and wants to be single again, Katie Holmes gets $3 million per year of putting up with her sugar daddy, and a house of her own. Cruise’s budget won’t be dented, and he won’t have to worry about a messy divorce.
It’s almost like Tom Cruise thinks that the dating isn’t enough, and that they need an 11 year trial period for their marriage. Maybe then he’ll agree to release photos of new baby Suri–unless she’s actually some kind of more-visible alien.
