Court opens Brian France's divorce documents

Court opens France's divorce documents: NASCAR chief executive Brian France said in court documents that his former wife spent a "staggering" amount of his fortune on her family and friends. Megan France said her former husband spent little time with their two children and became verbally abusive when he didn't get his way. Voluminous court documents unsealed Wednesday revealed new details about the couple's bitter second divorce, years after the contentious 2008 breakup. France's lawyers had fought for years to keep the records confidential. France married the Charlotte woman twice and they divorced twice. Their first marriage lasted from 2001 to 2004. They married again in 2005 and the second divorce was finalized in 2008. Several news organizations fought to unseal the documents, arguing those were public records, and a North Carolina appeals court last year agreed. So on Wednesday, 3,000 pages of documents were released, including dozens of court motions, depositions and emails. According to statements in open court, the couple's 2008 separation agreement included paying Megan France $9 million, alimony of $32,000 a month for 10 years and $10,000 a month in child support. The unsealed records showed Brian France is wealthy. A 2005 financial statement included in the court documents show he had $564 million in total assets - including stock and real estate - and that he was likely to inherit "substantial wealth from his parents," which could exceed $1 billion.(Associated Press)(5-9-2013)

I sat across the black jack table in Vegas a few years ago with the cockeyed mouth breather! He blasted through about 2 grand in 15 minutes time before he scurried off a loser! No tip at all for the dealer as well! Real classy guy….

No wonder

Sure explains the inabilaty to relate to the average fan, and re-affirms my beliefe that people up that high in the air all have a severely detached sense of reality. Seen it before...No wonder they want the state of Fl. to fund their next fiasco.

Who really cares. I quit giving NASCAR money years ago.

I'm sure he'll inherit a least a billion from his parents, but everything he has now was inherited from his parents, everything. Brian really hasn't made a dime of his own money.

Is that his fault?

There are many folks in America with the same "problem". I'd say not a bad one to have...
