Guyritchie So much for Guy Ritchie not wanting any of Madonna's money.

He just got the biggest settlement in reported divorce history!

Madonna's mouthpiece Liz Rosenberg told the AP today that her client's divorce settlement was in the range of 50 million to 60 million pounds ($76 million to $92 million).

This figure includes the value of the couple's country home, Ashcombe House, in western England. Ritchie gets to keep that estate as well as their west London pub -- the Punchbowl.

A sprawling country house and grounds and a pub? What more does any man need?

So don't cry for Guy. Ritchie had an estimated $35- million fortune, and and he's certainly richer now, having got quite a chunk of her estimated $525 million.

Basically, he made $8 million for every year they were married.

Their multimillion-pound (and -dollar) settlement is about twice the size paid out by former Beatle Paul McCartney to former model Heather Mills.

Rosenberg added although the financial component of the settlement has been worked out, custodial arrangements for the couple's children have yet to be finalized.

Madonna and Ritchie announced their split in October after months of tabloid speculation. They were granted a preliminary decree of divorce on Nov. 21.

Their split is expected to become final in January.

Um, Happy Holidays?!

Given what he probably had to endure married to that overrated, egomanical control freak, Richie probably didn't get half of what he should have.

Congrats, Guy -- you're free of Madonna! That's reason enough to smile!
