4. Harold Hamm – Sue Ann Hamm (née Arnall)

Settlement: $975 million

A single check, made out to the amount $974,790,317 and 77 cents, marked the most expensive divorce settlement in the United States ever. Sue Ann Hamm cashed it in April of 2015. We can only imagine the look at the bank teller’s face when they received it. Harold and Sue Ann split up after 26 years of marriage. Harold Hamm, the CEO of Continental Resources, is worth about $17 billion, so he was lucky to escape higher position on this list. He may even had a shot at the first spot.
