How Will The Huge Fortune During Kevin Costner’S Long Career Change After The Divorce?
Kevin Costner has amassed a huge fortune during his lengthy career and is worth a staggering $250million (£200million).
The 68-year-old actor is getting divorced from his wife of 19 years, Christine Baumgartner, but it seems his wealth won’t be impacted as Christine is reportedly not seeking spousal support.
The pair, who tied the knot in 2004 and share three children, also have a pre-nuptial agreement in place, according to reports.
Kevin currently stars as John Dutton in hit Peacock series Yellowstone and is thought to take home a whopping $1.3million (£1million) per episode.
In 2022, he became the best paid actor when his salary reached the jaw-dropping amount.

According to Variety, he is one of a number of actors commanding such a big sum from streaming services, with other names including Harrison Ford and Will Ferrell.
While Christine’s net worth isn’t quite as big as her soon-to-be ex-husband, she has still built a very successful career for herself.
She’s estimated to be worth $7million (£5.6million) as the co-founder of handbag company, Cat Bag Couture, and from her former career as a model.
Confirming Kevin and Christine’s divorce, the actor’s publicist Arnold Robinson said: “It is with great sadness that circumstances beyond his control have transpired which have resulted in Mr. Costner having to participate in a dissolution of marriage.”
According to TMZ, Christine is asking for joint custody of their three children. The couple have two sons, aged 15 and 14, as well as a 12-year-old daughter.
The publication reports that Kevin filed his response on Tuesday in which he also asks for joint custody.
His response was filed by attorney Laura Wasser who suggested there was a pre-nup in place for the couple.
She stated: “Spousal support to be payable to petitioner pursuant to the terms of the parties’ Premarital Agreement.”
Kevin was previously married to Cindy Silva from 1978 to 1994. His first divorce settlement saw his ex-wife walk away with $50million (£40million).
