The divorce between Valerie Bertinelli and her husband Tom Vitale proved to be quite expensive for the “Hot in Cleveland” star. People reports that Bertinelli ended up losing a good chunk of her wealth after the pair finalized their divorce in November 2022. In legal documents obtained by the magazine, Bertinelli agreed to pay her ex-husband $2.2 million “in full, final, and complete settlement and satisfaction of any and all claims between them.” The outlet added that neither she nor Vitale was granted spousal support as “set forth in the prenuptial agreement” that the couple signed prior to their marriage.
Per PageSix, this amount is on top of the half-million dollars that Bertinelli already paid her ex during their divorce proceedings on May 24, 2022. Under the terms of their agreement, Vitale was also ordered to move out of Bertinelli’s Malibu home by the end of the year “so long as she has paid him the sum of what he’s owed.” If not, he can stay in the house without any rental obligations to Bertinelli.
Amid the divorce proceedings, the “Valerie’s Home Cooking” star decided to put her sprawling Hollywood Hills mansion up for sale for $2.5 million in August 2022. She also got rid of her Tiffany wedding rings and the Jimmy Choo platforms she wore to her wedding by selling them through a luxury consignment store that late September. Not that she needed the money, of course; Celebrity Net Worth has estimated Bertinelli to have an impressive net worth of $20 million as of 2023. Not too shabby, eh?
