Figures are reported estimates. Last updated Oct 2026.
Green filed for divorce citing irreconcilable differences.
Drew Barrymore, the actress who rose to fame as a child in E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, and Tom Green, the Canadian comedian best known for The Tom Green Show, met in 2000 and married on 7 July 2001 in a ceremony in Beverly Hills. Barrymore was by then a major star after hits such as Charlie's Angels and The Wedding Singer. The marriage was short, lasting around five months. Green was a television comedian known for his outlandish pranks.
Barrymore's wealth came from her film career and her production company Flower Films, which she co-founded in 1995 and which produced hits such as Charlie's Angels and Never Been Kissed. She was among the best-paid actresses of her generation. Green's wealth came from his television shows and film appearances, including Freddy Got Fingered, which he wrote and directed in 2001. The marriage took place when both were at the height of their fame.
The couple married in July 2001 and Barrymore filed for divorce in December 2001, citing irreconcilable differences. The divorce was finalized in October 2002, a little over a year after the marriage. Green was diagnosed with testicular cancer in 2000 and recovered. Barrymore later married Jeremy Thomas in 2012 and had two daughters, while Green continued in comedy.
No official sum was published, and the $2 million quoted in some lists is an estimate. The couple had a prenuptial agreement, and neither party was reported to be seeking spousal support. The divorce was resolved without a dispute. The details remained private.
The sum is small because the marriage was short and because the couple reportedly had a prenuptial agreement. Under California law, a marriage of a few months generates little community property, and Barrymore's assets were largely held before the marriage. The reported amount is probably a rough estimate.
Barrymore's career went on to flourish, with films such as 50 First Dates and Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle, and she later founded the Barrymore beauty line, Flower Beauty, and hosted her own talk show. Green continued in comedy and television, working on talk shows and podcasts. Neither side's business was greatly affected by the divorce.
The Barrymore and Green divorce is one of the shortest on this list. It is a useful example of a brief celebrity marriage with a small financial outcome. By contrast with the cases of Jordan or Spielberg, its size was limited by the length of the marriage.
Barrymore has been married three times: to Jeremy Thomas, Tom Green and Will Kopelman. She was a child star who struggled with addiction as a teenager and later wrote a memoir. Green's marriage took place in the same year as his film Freddy Got Fingered. The $2 million figure is an estimate.

They married in 2001 and divorced in 2001, a marriage of roughly 0 years.
No prenuptial agreement was reported.

The sum is small because the marriage was short and because the couple reportedly had a prenuptial agreement. Under California law, a marriage of a few months generates little community property, and Barrymore's assets were largely held before the marriage.
