Melania Trump could receive a huge amount in a divorce settlement if she divorces U.S. President Donald Trump. As per a report, Melania Trump renegotiated her prenuptial agreement before joining her husband in Washington.
Earlier, a former aide had claimed that Melania and Donald Trump had separate bedrooms in the White House as part of their “transactional marriage”.
Omarosa Manigault Newman said the couple’s 15-year marriage as over and that “Melania was counting every minute until he is out of the office and she can divorce”.
The divorce lawyer has said that Melania could get a whopping $50 million and above. The amount is said to be far more than what Trump’s first two wife’s Ivana and Marla Maples received.
“In this situation, if she has $50 million, she can afford to buy something. But $50 million, while it’s definitely a lot of money, in New York City, for what she’s used to, she wouldn’t be able to replicate what she has now. He probably had a good sense of what kind of lifestyle they’d be living, so I would imagine the payout would be fairly generous,” divorce lawyer Jacqueline Newman, a managing partner at Manhattan-based Berkman Bottger Newman & Rodd said.
Trump first met Melania at a party in Manhattan in 1998 where he asked then-fashion model Melania Knauss her telephone number, next year, they were a couple. In 2005, the two tied the knot and had their son Barron in 2006. Donald Trump has five children from three wifes, and ten grandchildren.
