In this episode of their podcast, Larsa and Marcus take a candid look at the impact of divorce settlements and alimony in the lives of celebrities.
Marcus Jordan and Larsa Pippen’s Revelation
During the episode, Marcus Jordan made a surprising statement regarding the divorce settlement between his parents, Michael and Juanita Vanoy. He shared his mother’s sentiments, suggesting that the reported $168,000,000 settlement may have been inflated. Marcus quoted his mother, highlighting her belief that the numbers thrown around in the media are often inaccurate.
While on the topic of Kevin Costner’s divorce, Larsa brought up how settlement amounts may not be as reported in the media. She said:
“Shout out to him. But I don’t know if the numbers are right. Because let me tell you, there have been numbers that have been thrown around with me that are so inaccurate.”
To this, Marcus Jordan responded:
“I feel like my mom says the same thing. About her. Yeah, of course. She’s like the numbers have never right. That’s exactly what she says.”
While discussing his own experiences with misleading financial information, Marcus expressed skepticism about the validity of reported figures. He revealed that even his own net worth, as found on online searches, is grossly overestimated, emphasizing the need for caution when trusting such information.
“Yeah, that’s funny because I’ve seen my friends send me screenshots of my net worth, if you Google, ‘Marcus Jordan net worth,’ and I think it’s like north of like $500 million. Oh my gosh, so I remember one day, I screenshot that and sent it to my dad and I’m like, ‘Hey, Dad, you know, where’s the money?’ Because like, you know, it’s definitely I’m not sitting on $500 million right now!'”
Kevin Costner’s Divorce and Alimony
Marcus and Larsa also weighed in on the ongoing divorce proceedings involving actor Kevin Costner. Larsa presented the case, mentioning that Kevin Costner’s wife is reportedly seeking $240,000 per month in spousal support. While acknowledging the substantial amount, Larsa and Marcus emphasized that it is important to consider the lifestyle to which the individual requesting support had grown accustomed.
They opined that if the demanded amount reflects the spending habits and standard of living experienced during the marriage, then it is justifiable for the person to seek to maintain that lifestyle post-divorce. Marcus expressed surprise at the substantial figure, indicating that he was unaware of Kevin Costner’s financial capacity to meet such demands.
