Michael Jordan -
"In addition to the $168 million, Juanita who's now romantically linked to a banker 20 years younger than herself, will also get their seven-acre estate in Chicago, as well as custody of their three kids; Jeffrey Michael, Marcus James, and Jasmine Mickael."
Ouch.
Michael's marriage to Juanita was never more than a business deal anyway. If you remember, there was no big wedding. In fact, it was a long time before I realized he was married at all, and had a kid (Jeffrey was already a year old when they were married - a quickie in Vegas). I think Mike's people realized how big he was going to be, and they realized they couldn't do the things business-wise they had planned (essentially a new Nike Division centered around him) if he was another black athlete with an out-of-wedlock kid. So they got him married. He fucked around on Juanita for their whole marriage, running around playing golf and chasing tail. You never saw her or the kids with him anywhere. She filed for divorce a couple other times, but withdrew the papers, probably because he bought her something. Since they were essentially business partners from jump, and she bore him 3 kids, I can't begrudge her what she got. It's not a big deal that she got the Chicago estate, because he was never there anyway. Mike will earn big in perpetuity, so in the grand scheme of things, the $168 million isn't a killer for him. He doesn't care about the property, and both of his sons are playing college ball on scholarship. Mike's good.
Remember that story that broke about Mike being sued by some lounge singer, Karla Knafel? They were introduced by an NBA ref at some hotel piano lounge on the road (I figure the ref was trying to get some pussy by using the "I know Michael Jordan" card), and Mike pushed up HARD. There was some resistance on her part, because he was married. He told her, "Don't worry about that...it's just a business thing." She actually ended up having his baby, but the child was stillborn. He had made her certain promises with regards to support, but once the kid died, he said fuck it.
I remember the NBA investigated his fishy relationships with NBA refs. Explains all the phantom calls. I've never watched so many replays looking for the contact on fouls. Body, arm, anything...Jordan, gotta hand it to him, ruthlessly took every competitive advantage he could. A marvel.
Juanita , that whore was a fucking "groupie". That was a marriage made to enhance his image. No difference between his and Tiger's marriage.
This is why I love Bill Clinton. The man fucked everything that moved in Arkansas, got his dick sucked in the White House, and, still got to keep his marriage in tact. According to published reports, Hillary, has renewed energy and commitment to her marriage, and says he is the best man she has ever had in her life. A true leader, and cocksman.

Supposedly Juanita wasn't very impressed by Mike when she first met him. She's a professional woman (was a bank manager or something), and wasn't your "typical" groupie. When I learned that their kid was already a year old before they married, my opinion of her changed slightly. She never quit work, so I retained a bit of respect for her, but she still recognized how much better her life would be by keeping Mike on the hook. I don't even think she cared that he fucked around - he was worth too much financially to let her pride get in the way.
Hilary made a bargain early on with Bill. She knew a star when she saw one. Hil is brilliant in her own way, but knew she could get where she really wanted to go on her own. She needed some coat tails. Bill was used to banging out big-titted blonde airheads, but when he got serious about his own future, he came home with Hilary (fucked up haircut, thick glasses and buck teeth), and his own family thought WHAT THE FUCK? She knew who Bill was, but as long as you don't embarrass me with it, we'll be partners and go places. People close to them say they really do love each other, but they are unlike any other couple you'll meet in the way they relate, and the things they talk about. They're both total wonks, and that's what they talk about. Bill arguably has the tightest game on the planet, and no matter how hard enemies have come at him, he's survived it all.
