Energy magnate Michael Polsky

5. Michael and Maya Polsky - $184 million

According to court records, the couple married in the Ukraine in 1975, coming to the US in 1976 with "only four suitcases and $500 in cash".

After sighting irreconcilable difference in 2003, Maya Polsky filed for divorce from energy magnate Michael Polsky. In October 2006 a Chicago judge said Mrs Polsky was entitled to at least half of the couple's assets.

能源大亨麥克波斯基和妻子是1975年在烏克蘭注冊結婚的，1976年他們帶著500美金和一個箱子來到了美國。而有的人就是注定能共苦不能同甘，2006年他們離婚時波斯基太太分走了老公一半的財產：一億八千四百萬美金。
