Prenups aren’t new—especially for the wealthy. But some celeb couples have taken them to a whole new level. From quirky clauses to billion-dollar protections, here are some of the most legendary celebrity prenups of all time.
Mark Zuckerberg & Priscilla Chan
After dating for nearly 10 years, these two married in 2012. The prenup was less focused on money and more on rules of the relationship, with odd clauses like no Facebook interference, a necessary 100 minutes of one-on-one time each day, and a weekly date night. That’s one way to enforce true love!
Khloé Kardashian & Lamar Odom
This insane prenup had some major financial perks, including $500,000 for each year married, a monthly $5,000 allowance for shopping, $1,000 monthly for hair care and beauty, and a new car at the end of each lease. Lamar also allegedly granted his wife courtside seats for every one of his Lakers games and ownership rights to the couple’s shared home.
Nicole Kidman & Keith Urban
This prenup protected Nicole from financial liability in relation to Keith Urban’s sobriety. Essentially, Keith was paid for staying sober. If he didn’t drink alcohol in excess or use illegal drugs, he was allegedly given between $600,000 and $900,000 for each year of marriage. This sobriety clause could lead to a massive payout, seeing as the couple is splitting up.
Brooklyn Beckham & Nicola Peltz
Before this young couple held their multi-million dollar wedding, they signed what’s now known as the most epic prenup of all time. The agreement protected both of their parents’ fortunes, which included nepo baby Nicola’s approximately £1.3 billion family wealth. The details on the prenup are private, so we don’t know the exact terms, but we can presume it’s probably airtight.
Beyoncé & Jay-Z
The famous line “Of course sometimes sh*t goes down when it’s a billion dollars on an elevator” has never been more relevant than when you’re talking about this celebrity prenup. It allegedly includes payments related to the length of marriage and children—$1 million for every year of marriage and $5 million per child. Then, the post-nuptial agreement is put in place, focusing on 50-50 custody if they split.
Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt
In this marriage that soon turned ugly, the prenup prioritized the well-being of their six children. Pre-marriage earnings stayed divided up, but other assets were put into a joint trust fund for their kids. Clauses on adultery were reportedly included, allowing Angelina to get full custody if Brad cheated on her.
Catherine Zeta-Jones & Michael Douglas
The prenuptial agreement between these stars was designed to protect Michael Douglas’s massive fortune while ensuring that Catherine Zeta-Jones got a fair payout, with reports suggesting she would get $2.8 million for every year of marriage and an additional $5 million ‘straying fee’ if Michael were to ever be unfaithful.
Katie Holmes & Tom Cruise
The rumors swirling around this prenup gave Tom serious control over Katie. Allegedly, it included restrictions on how she spent money on her outfits and the fact that the compensation she received would be based on how many children she produced in the marriage. She reportedly received $3 million for each year married, with a maximum of $33 million. She could have gotten half his fortune and a Montecito mansion if she had stayed for 11 years, but left after 6.
Kim Kardashian & Kanye West
Their wedding was one of the most anticipated celebrity weddings of all time, and their marriage was one of the most discussed, so of course, they would have an insane prenup in place. In it, Kris Jenner was not allowed to make career decisions that would impact the couple as a unit, and Kim could get $1 million per year of marriage, which highlights the financial stakes involved in their relationship and the importance of protecting individual interests in high-profile marriages. They split after 8 years of marriage.
Ice-T & Coco Austin
This couple has a wild clause in place related to Coco’s plastic surgery procedures. Rumors say that the prenup gives Ice-T the right to her breast and buttock implants if they divorce. Who knows if he would really enforce that clause? Fortunately, they’re still married, and Coco’s implants are safe and sound!
