[Margaret Pilkington]

The reason that I ask this question is because the ex wife of the divorced John Charman is expecting to get a 48 million pound divorce settlement......37% of his assets. John Charman feels that this is 'Obscene' as his wife did nothing to build up his business.

The children of this partnership are grown up so it isn't like Beverly Charman has some major expenditure in school fees etcetera.

I have mixed feelings about the situation. I feel that although John Charman feels that his wife did nothing to help him build up his business empire...he was in insurance, by the way....she did give him a stable family home and brought up two children.....so in a way she DID contribute.
However, I could manage quite nicely on just the interest that would accrue from such a vast amount of money....and I think she is being just a bit greedy.
What do you think?
