The Story

Moore initially sought spousal support from the much-younger Kutcher.

Who Were the Couple?

Ashton Kutcher, the actor known for That '70s Show and Two and a Half Men, and Demi Moore, the Oscar-nominated star of Ghost, met in 2003 and began dating in 2003 while he was 25 and she was 40. The age difference made them a subject of media attention. They married on 24 September 2005 in a private ceremony in Beverly Hills. Moore had three daughters from her marriage to Bruce Willis, and Kutcher became a stepfather to them.

How the Wealth Was Built

Kutcher built his wealth through television, film and technology investing. He starred in That '70s Show and later replaced Charlie Sheen on Two and a Half Men, for which he was paid about $700,000 per episode. He was also an early investor in start-ups such as Skype, Airbnb and Uber, which later became very valuable. Moore's wealth came from her film career in the 1990s, including fees of more than $10 million per film.

Timeline of the Marriage

The couple married in 2005 and became prominent figures on social media. In November 2011, Kutcher was reported to have been unfaithful, and Moore announced that they would divorce. She filed for divorce in 2012, and the divorce was finalized in November 2013, after eight years of marriage. Kutcher later married Mila Kunis in 2015.

Divorce Settlement Details

The divorce was reported to be settled with both sides keeping their assets, with the details kept private. The figure of about $10 million sometimes mentioned in the press is an estimate, and some accounts suggest that no spousal support was paid on either side. The arrangement was said to include a prenuptial agreement and was reached without a trial.

Why the Settlement Was So Large

The reason for the headline sum is the high earnings of both partners. However, because both stars were wealthy in their own right and the couple had no children together, the settlement was largely a division of assets. Kutcher's investments in start-ups, which became very valuable after the divorce, were largely not part of the marital estate.

Impact on Businesses or Assets

Kutcher co-founded the venture firm A-Grade Investments, later known as Sound Ventures, which invested in dozens of tech start-ups. His wealth grew greatly in the years that followed. Moore published a memoir, Inside Out, in 2019, in which she described her marriage and her experiences. The divorce did not harm either star's finances.

Comparison With Other Famous Divorces

The case is small by the standards of the largest divorces on this list, but it is notable as a high-profile second divorce for Moore, who had already divorced Willis. It shows the contrast between a divorce settled by a division of two independent fortunes and one driven by a single dominant breadwinner.

Interesting Facts
