Jordan isn't hurting? Darling,you could be BILL GATES and that 150 million plus IS GONNA HURT.That's a major part of the reason that she went for the big bucks...to permanently harm MJ.Purely for punitive purposes only.The "standard of living that she is used to"? Yeah,she didn't EARN that.MJ did.HE PAID FOR THAT AND GOT THE CONTRACT MONEY TO LAVISH HER WITH LUXURY.If she went out and hustled up the money on her own,that's one thing.And you wouldn't find MJ trying to get half of it,that's for damn sure.
None of those women deserve a dime of the man's money.Notice how the rich guy isn't trying to snag money from the woman...rich or not.Yeah.That's a pattern.And even if he did? He doesn't deserve a damn dime of HER money.Somehow,though,people are intellectually insufficient enough to think that it's okay for the woman...WHOEVER SHE MAY BE...to snag half of the man's belongings,HOWEVER MUCH SHE DIDN'T DO TO EARN IT.My response to that?
HELL NO GETCHA OWN DOUGH.
Point blank.
ENDETH ILLUMINATION
If you were married and you and your wife were getting a divorce you would leave her with nothing while you basked in your riches? Two of their kids are still in high school what about their standards of living? Its not like they are going to be with Mike all the time, and probably not even half of the time. Seventeen years of helping to uphold his family man image is worth something, and so is having his children. Somehow though,some people are intellectually insufficient enough to think that Juanita deserves nothing.
Don't act like you don't hear about men going after their rich wives & girlfriends money because if you haven't then you must live under a rock, Darling.
Hahahahaha,I LIKE that response BarbaraB! However...
In the issue of the 17 year olds? Yeah,I did half the work of the fathering aspect plus ALL THE MONEY MAKING.So NO she doesn't deserve half of the 300 million.If she did all the money making and half of the parenting? Yeah,not many people would argue that she shouldn't keep her money.In my previous posts,I listed how I emphatically think that Beyonce is entitled to every penny she has earned through her record sales,no matter who she marries,and whomever is her husband doesn't deserve a single peso of her income.Becase SHE earned it,not him.Same with Oprah,Madonna,Martha Stewart,the girls on THE VIEW or whatever that show's called,and the whole crew of independent women.
And YEP, there ARE raggedy men whom try to leech off of their women *cough cough KEVIN FEDERLINE cough cough*.But these sorry ragamuffins are the exception.And I think that they deserve NADA.
Back to the seventeen year olds...yeah,Juanita should deserve some form of compensation for that.As I stated earlier in my posts,a cool million dollars for turning down the sheets with the greatest bball player EVER and having his kids? That's literally Lottery money,and she should be happy to get it.I honestly think that a million bucks is more than a bit excessive,because...does it really take a million bucks to raise kids? Nope.If they need something,they can ask MJ.Hell,they might LIVE with him,and that way they would receive the best of everything.Live with MJ,visit Juanita.I think that she should honestly get MAX about half a million bucks.Don't sneer.I sorta kinda think that a half million bucks plus a round promoting her book called something like THE GAME YOU DIDN'T SEE would give her stupid levels of cash.So half a million bucks plus putting her name out there promoting works that she ACTUALLY DID and can ACTUALLY CLAIM CAME FROM HER OWN EFFORTS,and NOT basically bumming off of her husband.So go with half a million to about a million... given MJ's income? One million out of three hundred million seems about right...
And let's stop all this noise about Juanita being there from the beginning.There was only ONE person who was with MJ from the beginning,and you know who it was? MICHAEL JORDAN.As a child,MJ excelled in sports.As a child,he determined to make sports his way of life.Where was Juanita when MJ was in preschool or elementary or junior high or high school? Nowhere to be found.So she WASN'T at the beginning.Only MJ was.She met MJ in college,right? College is MOST DEFINITELY NOT THE BEGINNING.God blessed him with G.O.A.T. potential and the never-say-die ferocious demonic work ethic and unconquerable spirit that he displayed throughout his career.We ever see Juanita rise like a projectile missile and bring the thunder funk on Manute Bol or Mtumbo or anybody? Did we all excitedly jabber about the possibility of MJ facing MAGIC and the LAKERS in the NBA FINALS? Oh...we weren't givin a damn about Juanita then,were we? We were talking about MICHAEL.He was the one that got our hearts racing and imagination triple pumping into overdrive and awakening the inspiration to fly and BE LIKE MIKE...I WANNA BE LIKE MIKE.I don't wanna be like Juanita. I WANNA BE LIKE MIKE.
We are going overboard here with all the empathy and sympathy for the wives of superstar athletes...we're making far too many assumptions here.
Do we know if Juanita was gettin freaky with others? NOPE. Do we know if MJ was? NOPE,we only know what THE MEDIA SAYS.You know,that trustworthy media which NEVER bandies about racial stereotypes and stuff and which brought us debacles like the OJ case and many others.We can trust them.Jenn even has a link to YAAMS about how trustworthy they are.
That was sarcasm,by the way,and in no way intended to be disrespectful to women at all.But the points I made are quite valid.
Martha Stewart shouldn't have to part with a fraction of a peso to someone whom didn't come up with a single printing pattern or whatever for her company.That's like saying that--Panther God forfend--if Ororo and Tchalla break up,well...SHE DESERVES HALF OF WAKANDA.That's literally that kind of mindblowing dooficity that we are annointing here.Clearly preposterous.
Take a half a million to a million and bounce.It was hard on BOTH sides,I'm sure of it...but 150 million dollars? You can buy up all the top hitmen on the East Coast and from the former Soviet Union COMBINED for LESS THAN THAT.
