Scorned ex-wife set to make divorce history with possible $18 billion payout
They divorced seven years ago, but now the ex-wife of one of Russia's wealthiest men is taking him to court in the UK in a bid to win a payout worth up to £10 billion.
That's over $18 billion AUD, and will be in addition to the £30 million (approx.
$54 million AUD) awarded to Natalia Potanina by a Russian divorce court in 2014.

Potanin – who has been known to play ice hockey with Vladimir Putin - said they separated in 2007.
His ex-wife, on the other hand, claims they didn't split until 2013, when Potanin had a child with another woman ("unbeknown to her", Potanina claims) whom he has since married.
