Adele & Simon Konecki — $170 Million

Adele and Konecki divorced in 2021 after three years of marriage (together since 2011). The settlement was estimated at $170 million — roughly half of her fortune at the time. They had no prenup. She wrote the album 30 about the experience, which sold 10 million copies and generated $200+ million in revenue — essentially earning back her entire divorce settlement through art about the divorce. She then signed a $245 million Las Vegas residency. Adele is the only person in history who lost $170 million in a divorce and made it all back by singing about it. The ultimate power move.
