Tycoon's ex rejects $975 million divorce check
By Katie Lobosco @KatieLobosco January 6, 2015: 7:59 PM ET
NEW YORK (CNNMoney)

Not everyone gets to see a check for $975 million with their name on it. But after a highly contentious divorce, Sue Ann Arnall is looking for more.

She rejected the check her ex-husband Harold Hamm sent her Monday, according to his attorneys.

Hamm agreed to pay the nearly $1 billion back in November. He's somewhat of a legend in the oil business, having built Continental Resources (CLR) from the ground up and led the development of North Dakota's Bakken oil field.

But Arnall, an economist and a lawyer who held executive positions in the company, has said she is entitled to more. She filed for an appeal, claiming that the fortune was due to both her work and his.

Arnall's attorney did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

To make things even messier, Hamm himself filed for an appeal as well. He claims that with the dramatic drop in oil prices, his company's value has taken a hit, along with his wealth.

Despite writing the check, Hamm will move forward with his appeal, his attorney Craig Box said.
12691631, was she not paid for her work with the company?

Not that it really matters. Those people barely even live on Earth regardless.
12691712, That drop in oil prices is real. She shoulda taken that check.

I think she had been awarded 700 mil by the courts. Said she wanted a billion and the husband was like okay.... 975 mil. She's just wasting time and being bitter at this point. I can see why he said whatever take what you want and be gone. I'm sure he has business issues to attend to and she's got nothing better to do than go to court.
12691720, This is why I would only work in family law for incredibly wealthy ppl.

Bc if I'm representing ppl who are going to be petty and stupid like this I want them to be fighting for big checks so my cut is huge and worth dealing with their bullshit.
12691766, I'd get one check and be done with law altogether.

12691859, i'm sure you can charge plenty in cases like this

just saying the take one huge case and retire strategy works better in some big class action tort deal.
12691860, right.

She may be petty but she's no dummy.
12691840, Have you been following that case? She deserves more.
Posted by guru0509, Wed Jan-07-15 10:17 AM
12691885, if he's worth 17 billion she did the right thing
Posted by legsdiamond, Wed Jan-07-15 10:39 AM
12691845, I'd turn it down if I could get five times as much, sure.

we're not talking 9.75 million or 97.5 million, she was offered a check for approximately Jay Z & Beyonce's net worth and she wants more? that's just to punish dude
12692236, it ain't half yo
Posted by ThaAnthology, Wed Jan-07-15 01:43 PM
if she was a part of the biz, she is entitled to more than 1 percent.
12692288, I feel you but

12692287, not really, man
Posted by ConcreteCharlie, Wed Jan-07-15 02:13 PM
you notice some shit about ppl who have a ton of money? they all want a lot more.

i mean if he is worth $17B, i bet she can get more than $1B.

so the question isn't how she can leave $1B on the table by rejecting the check, but how she can leave xB (or xxB) on the table by accepting it.
12692377, RE: not really, man
Posted by auset1, Wed Jan-07-15 02:50 PM
the settlement is for 1B.
he is playing games with her.
cut another check and stop trying to have the upper hand, he agreed to 1B thats what he should pay.

12692280, Ok, so dude has 17 Billion but . . .
Posted by Starks dunked on Bulls, Wed Jan-07-15 02:10 PM
If he gave yall $975 million dollars, you wouldn't just take the money and run? That's more money you and your kids will ever need. Like why not just take the money and stop wasting a second of your life on this issue? This gives you the opportunity to start living the life you want right now.

I see the other argument but still . . . that's $975 million though. Like how do you say no to that?
12692323, RE: Ok, so dude has 17 Billion but . . .
Posted by auset1, Wed Jan-07-15 02:28 PM
the court will give her more thats why, what she needs versus what she deserves is two different things, nobody needs that much money that doesnt mean she shouldnt get it.

shame on him for trying to play her, she isnt the bad guy here.

12692329, um...the settlement was for $1b, not 0.975b
Posted by teefiveten, Wed Jan-07-15 02:31 PM
that's reason enough to reject it

but yeah, she deserves more
12692366, According to this article, there is property involved as well.
Posted by Creole, Wed Jan-07-15 02:44 PM
So, essentially, she would have netted a settlement in excess of $1b.

Angry divorcée refuses $974M check from billionaire oil tycoon

Published January 07, 2015
New York Post

Now that’s rich!

A jaw-dropping photo reveals the handwritten $974.8 million divorce settlement check rejected as too skimpy by the ex-wife of a billionaire oil tycoon.

Sue Ann Arnall, 56, scoffed at the jackpot-size payout from former hubby Harold Hamm — CEO of the energy company Continental Resources — demanding more money because he was allowed to keep the bulk of his $13.5 billion fortune.

The check, penned in bubbly handwriting, was made out for a mind-numbing $974,790,317.77 on Monday. The couple was married for 26 years.

The sky-high sum was delivered to Arnall’s legal team on Tuesday, but was promptly turned away, according to Hamm’s lawyer, Michael Burrage.

“Ms. Arnall, through her counsel, stated that they were rejecting the . . . payment because Ms. Arnall did not want to risk the dismissal of her appeal by acceptance of the benefits,” Burrage said in a statement on Tuesday.

Arnall plans to appeal a November divorce court ruling that granted her $995 million, along with other assets worth tens of millions more, such as a California ranch and an Oklahoma home, her legal team said at the time.

Take the 975 mill and keep it moving.

Anything can happen if she continues to pursue this matter.
