Joe Scarborough's Incredibly Cheap Divorce

Let's just indulge in a little gossip while we wait for Obama to plunge the country into economic chaos. Joe Scarborough is getting a divorce from his wife of 12 years so I assume this will be his second divorce. His weekly paycheck is $99,038 and he won't even have to pay child support for his 2 children. The terms of the settlement are unbelievably generous- to Joe. He will fork over $30,000 per month for 5 years, then $25,000 per month for 2 years. Joe also gave the ex a lump sum of $150k, and he’s paying the mortgage on their Connecticut home, and the kids’ schooling. Go figure. The lump sum payment of $150,000 is less than two week's pay and the $30,000 monthly stipend amounts to less 8 % of his gross. It's too bad all marriages can't end on such amicable terms!
