Mel Gibson is now legally single after his divorce<\/a> was finalized Friday in a Los Angeles courtroom, but bachelorhood came at a heavy price.<\/p>\n

Robyn, his ex-wife of nearly 30 years and the mother of their seven children, is walking away with half his fortune, once estimated to be as high as $850 million (according to the Los Angeles Business Journal<\/em> in 2006) in what is considered the biggest divorce payout<\/a> in Hollywood history.<\/p>\n

Because the couple didn’t have a prenuptial agreement, Robyn, 55, was legally entitled to half of everything he earned during their marriage. <\/p>\n

Among Gibson’s estimated assets: more than $600 million grossed by The Passion of the Christ<\/em> alone; $100-plus million in real estate investments worldwide (he bought an island in Fiji for $15 million in 2005); and $75 million for film and TV projects for which Gibson, 55, executive produced.<\/p>\n

It appears some of his wealth has already been transferred to Robyn, in particular two Malibu homes worth a combined $22.5 million. As for film residuals, Robyn is entitled to half of every future check Gibson receives for the rest of his life.<\/p>\n

“I left my wife because we had no spiritual common ground,” Gibson told his then-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva in secretly recorded tapes<\/a> she made of the actor in February 2010.<\/p>\n

During his custody battle with Grigorieva, in which the Russian musician accused Gibson of domestic violence, Robyn filed a sworn statement<\/a> in July 2010 stating that “Mel was a wonderful and loving father” and never abused Robyn or their kids.<\/p>\n

Gibson met Robyn, at the time a dental nurse, in the late 1970s after the American-born actor, who moved to Australia when he was 12, had filmed his breakout role in Mad Max<\/em>. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
