A Costly Divorce

Updating a blog post we brought you last fall, the ex-wife of oil baron Harold Hamm, Sue Ann Arnall, reportedly turned down a handwritten check for $974.8 million to settle the couple’s bitter divorce.

According to TIME, Hamm’s lawyer said that Arnall did not “want to risk the dismissal of her appeal” by accepting the full amount of what he owed her.

Last year, a judge approved the payment, however, Arnall has appealed the decision, because “it pales in comparison to the $18 billion fortune Hamm has amassed through oil drilling company Continental Resources,” according to the news outlet.

Hamm also appealed the amount, saying that it was far too high.
