While most of us would love to have an overwhelming amount of money in the bank, it can complicate matters of marriage and divorce. Page Six reported that at the time of Janet Jackson and Wassim Al Mana’s separation, Jackson was worth $250 million. But Al Mana? At the time, he is estimated to be worth a whopping $1 billion thanks to his portfolio of businesses that reportedly included real estate, cars, retail, and more.
According to The New York Post, Jackson and Al Mana had an iron-clad prenuptial agreement entitling the singer to a hefty payout. Under their agreed-upon terms, she would receive $100 million if they remained married for five years and another $100 million if they had a child. Jackson and Al Mana were married for a little over five years at the time of their split and shared one son.

Some accused Jackson of being after Al Mana’s money, but those close to the singer jumped to her defense. “Even if there was a possibility that my friend could make 500 mil off of having a child,” wrote Jackson’s creative director Gil Duldulao in a since-deleted Instagram post. “She would never accept a pay out or want a pay out. That’s the human being I know.” Meanwhile, a security guard working for the Jackson family maintained that the split was never about the cash. “She loves to be in control,” they said. “She ceded that control [in marriage] and she was not happy about it.”
