You Read It Here First!

We can’t stand free-loaders or gold-diggers.

And Guy Ritchie is about the biggest of them all!

Wasn’t he supposedly gonna divorce Madonna and not ask for a penny? Especially considering he has his own fortune!

But that’s not the case.

And as you read it here FIRST, we told you back in November that Guy “Gold Digger” Ritchie would be walking away with $70 million of Madonna’s hard earned money. Our impeccable sources confirmed to us the news weeks ago.

And, now, Madonna’s spokeswoman, Liz Rosenberg, is confirming the news publicly.

Rosenberg told The Associated Press today that Madge has settled with Ritchie for “at least 50 million pounds”, which converts to about $76 million or more.

The figure includes the values of the couple’s Ashcombe home in western England.

Rosenberg adds that while the financial part of the settlement has been agreed upon, the child custody arrangements have yet to be finalized.

She says, “I’d assume it’s one of the largest payouts ever in a divorce settlement.”

A rep for sleazeball Ritchie declined to comment.

Though he’s probably laughing all the way to the bank with money that isn’t his.

Maybe Ritchie and Heather Mills should hook up? They seem like they’d be great together.
