Juanita Jordan will receive more than 168 million dollars from her divorce settlement with NBA legend Michael Jordan making it the most expensive celebrity divorce to date. Damn, talk about a come up, along with the money, Juanita will receive the seven-acre estate in Chicago and custody of their three children. Juanita is currently involved with a banker 20 years her junior, and MJ is running around chasing young tail as well.
Have a ganders at the aerial view of Juanita’s crib:

Topics: Divorces, Michael Jordan
Shoot she deserves it…she’s been riding with him since NC. And he stays dipping…at least he kept it kinda respectful….kinda
1st…GM to all
2nd…oh well..
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
If Shaunie O’Neal talks to Juanita, then Shaq is going to be in trouble.
CONGRATULATIONS JUANITA, you deserve every penny, dealing with his cheating blonde chasing arse!!!! He may know how to dribble the ball, but it was his other balls and stick that he couldn’t handle. I hope you find all the happiness in the world!!!!!!
Man, shut the fuck up……
Only dumb hoes think that you deserve 168 million dollars for companionship…..
She doesn’t have any talent…..
yeah shes been with him for a hot min…she paid her dues
I ain’t even mad at her hustle. She’s got custody of their kids; that’s even more money. Forget being like Mike. I want to be like Juanita LOL!
Let me ask a question to the men: What does it take for you to be sexually involved with one woman?
It’s not about Companionship it’s about holding him down while he built his empire…She deserves every red cent period!
Good for her.
What percentage of his wealth is that? Before the haters come on to trash “gold diggers,” let’s not forget that they were together for 2 decades and supported him from the start. She also has a real job and is raising their almost grown children.
Yipppppppeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Girl, you betta get that dough. You deserve it… every penny.
Good.
Adsa
Juanita has been with Jordan for more than 20 years. She was there when his dad died. How do you figure that she is a hoe, dear?
Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah

Good. I have seen him out on several ocassions with a bevy of blondes…he leaves with them…so obvious. And the dude from the Rockets…Mutombo (sp?)..seen him leave a Houston club called Belvedere’s with chicks too. Lawd. His wife won’t get as much as Juantita, but she needs to call Juanita at the same time as Shaunie…LOL but absolutely true!
That estate looks like a small town.
@ adsa
Man, shut the fuck up……
Only dumb hoes think that you deserve 168 million dollars for companionship…..
She doesn’t have any talent…..
__________________________________________________
What people are saying she deserves money for is not solely based on companionship. She stood by him when he was building his empire. He didn’t do that ish alone. She put up with his philandering ways, and raised their kids and took care of home while he was on the road. No, that’s not talent that’s hard work!!!!
You need to STFU yourself because haven’t realized a woman’s worth.
Gotdamnit man…$168 mill!!! Wow…she has been holding him down forever and taking care of home too so yeah I agree with the other posters who said she deserves it.
As a matter of fact…knowing all the infidelities and bullshyt she has endured $168 mill ain’t enough! I hope she doesn’t become a sugamama for her youngin though…
I GUESS THIS WILL BE THE BLACK MEN/ BLACK WOMEN BASHING/WAR POST FOR TODAY. SMH
adsa, she is VERY talented at her profitable real estate gig, charity work, being his wife and raising their 3 kids. the money you make after you get married is both of yours. She was with him before he became wealthy so that is THEIR money. There’s no argument about whether she “deserves” it. It is their money and she’s getting her part of it.
The passengers on a bus will get to the same destination as the driver even though all they had to do was sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride.
good for her, he is a douch, an ass, a cheater!
I can see Juanita dancing with a fistful of money in her hands, shaking her butt saying to Michael “Kiss my ***!”
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Juanita stroked that brother more than he did all the women he cheat on her with! Got all up in his bank accounts; then she is with a banker!
CHA-CHING!!! WOW!
Juanita I told you girl!!!
If I was MJ, after being so successful, I would make sure to keep my dick to myself. I bet that va-jay-jay wasn’t worth 168 million, some acres and a mule!
I commend her though. She stuck it out. I guess for the children. Men, when you reach a certian status, keep your d!ck in your wife’s pocket! Damn NBA players!I’ma buy some Jays for my child now cause I know the proceeds are going to the richest exwife in the world! Now go find a man half his age and show Jordan who is the Queen B!
P.S. Adsa, hater!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Look at Juanita’s facial expression in that picture. Can you see that expression when Michael hands her that big old CHECK!?
Ha.
All’s well that ends well!! They both seem to be doing just fine.
I’m sure she would much rather have her family. You can’t put a price on the devastation of the dissolution of your marriage.
That is for the people saying she doesn’t deserve the money.
oh yeah…and when she gets her cash….
I hope she says:
TALK TO YOU LATER, BUCKWHEAT!
good for her, she deserves more but i guess this will do
these cheating men [myself not included] need to be taught a lesson and it should hit them where it hurts! i ain’t mad at ya!
Why do you people care if she gets 168 million? That’s problem only 10 percent of Jordan’s wealth. And guess where that money goes when Juanita dies, to her KIDS with Michael Jordan, as it should. Wives and parents need to start taking money for their kids. Get as much as you can? Why? Scroll down…
See the NBA dude that now has zero dollars but 10 kids?
Will his kids have an estate? Private schools? Good education?
NOOOOOOOO.
So now you have an NBA dude that WAS making millions, who now has kids that are basically underprivileged.
Black people can’t get ahead.
Damn….
The child support must be just as astronomicaL. Good for her though. Man or woman, if you were with that person from the get-go, you are most def entitled to your share.
She is entitled to it because thats the law, but as far as deserving it, that entirely anyones opinion. If she deserves 168mil then every divorcee deserves that amount.
He made that money with HIS talent, not her. So what if she was his wife and so what if she helped raise his kids. That was what she was supposed to do. What did she give him in the divorce? He helped raise his own kids. He provided for the entire family. I agree that she should be entitled to a significant portion especially if she was responsible for his achievements but I am not sure how they determine these amounts. Its the same with child support.
Oh, and to you women, I am not bashing Juanita or saying that divorced women should not get any money. I am questioning how much she “deserves” since she has done no more than millions of other mothers/wives have done.
My wife and I are in no danger of divorce, but if we were, I would be the one trying to get half. She is the major breadwinner, I’m no slouch either, but she pulls in bigger bucks. However, I paid for her secondary degree out of my pocket before we were even married so I feel like I am actually responsible for part of her success. I wont get 168mil in a divorce. I would be lucky to get half.
If Juanita actually deserves that amount, then every divorcee deserves that amount.
That ain’t even half of Micheal Jordan’s money. $168 Million is like a couple of his endorsements lumped together.
But I’ll take it.
Juanita was there with Michael from the beginning; before he was known as Air Jordan. I’m glad that he finally conceded to the divorce. Mike was on some ole its cheaper to keep her type crap cause he didn’t wanna pay up.
168 million I dont remember her taking no jump shots, or dunking on Mutombo does she have 5 rings.What the hell is wrong with these woman staying home taking care of kids and benefitting of the mans talent does not entitle her to so much money.
I heard that it was $198 million…everyone is coming up with different numbers..either way, she deserves it..MJ lost millions of dollars on a woman who took care of him and his kids on little hoes who couldn’t give two shits about him. (-_-)
K Dogg. I feel for your wife because you seem to miss the point of what a woman is truly worth. For you to even question Juanita’s settlement means that you are a selfish and self-centered person.
@kdogg
I think most of us believe she deserves the money because he was having sex with other women.
One thing I just thought about: What if there are women with Michael Jordan’s kids? It’s possible with as much sex with so many women as he has had, he may have other kids. If those women come forward, he will suffer, and they will get all in his bank accounts, too.
What most people don’t realize is that when your marriage is truly over, $168 million is worth it to get your freedom back.
It’s a harsh and cruel world.
MJ will always be MJ and able to pick up hos and gold diggers and hey, maybe even another chick who truly digs him. Look at Michael “old as a raisin” Douglas.
Juanita on the other hand has a ton of money but is seen as a less attractive figure. Guys at a club do NOT look for the 56 year old chick.
Just does not happen.
It’s a mans world.
Having said that, the split of two people is always sad.
MJ out.
Some of you women have kids and are getting basically pennies each month in child support while Puffy has to pay thousands each month for his kids. Are his kids better than yours? Do you need 20,000 a month to raise your kids? I hate how this sytem basically says that 1 child is better than another. These child supports cases go from one extreme to another. I know a lady that only gets 200 a month when daycare alone costs her 150 a week! The system screws her but then awards another mmother 20,000 a month. Please!
no one deserves that kinda money not even Michael, Athletes get paid way too much and what? for having a bit of talent its disgusting!
To KDogg and Dicko. Do you even understand the emotional turmoil that comes with being married to a man of Michael Jordan’s stature. The celebrity, the fame, the limelight, the near god stature this man has had on the impact of sports?
I don’t think so…because your not men of his stature. So, stop taking your ordinary lives and comparing your husbandry to Michael’s. You think its easy to be Pauletta Washington, Vanessa Bryant, and countless other examples of being married to high stature black men whose egos are stroked (and sucked off) by every nationality of every woman on the planet earth.
You have no idea. $168 million dollars will never give you the dignity, respect, and years (sometimes decades) living in someone’s shadow. And to top it off ordinary people like yourselves who judge these wives as if they are “Leave it to Beaver” wives.
Get a grip.
What the fuck was she holding down? Don’t you stupid bitches realize that that ho had maids, butlers, nanny’s, personal assistants to do the heavy lifting. How in the fuck can you stupid ass women justify a $168 million divorce settlement. That bitch, at the most, should’ve received $20 million and joint custody. The only positive out of all this, is maybe this will serve as a warning to all the young up in coming athletes and celebs to don’t get married. It’s not worth it.
Yes I Said it is right. Unless you’ve cured cancer and brought about world peace nobody “deserves” $168 mil, but it is what it is. It was legally acquired so she is just as “entitled” as anyone else. MJ is a dumbass. He’s been chasing tail for 20+ years. Guess what, neccas — that does get boring after a while. He’s so bored right now he can’t think straight. He shoulda taken the pro golf route like Tiger. You can play that sh*t forever. There’s always the senior tour…
T J
Black man, I assume; why are we hoes?
Do you have what they call civil partnership in the USA?
Well here it don’t matter if your married if you have live together for 2 years you are entitled to a percentage of the profit that he or she has made in those 2 years (not what you had before you came in together) I study law over in the UK don’t know how it works in the states but basically here, married or not you can be entitled to your partners profits!
any black man who gets married without prenupt is just as dumb as they come
i hope shaq got one
what did juanita do to get that money? pls someone tell me..oh she gave birth to kids? so? she raised the kids? pls…! she raised the kids with jordans money….she took care of the house with jordan`s money…! she stood in his shadow with his money…
y`all wonder why nobody wants to get married to money-hundry ass
@ Harlem Chic
You missed my point. My marriage is solid. No one will ever come between us. I’d donate my own heart to my wife if she needed one and I was the only compatible donor. I love her and to me, she’s priceless!
I was not questioning Juanitas entitlement to the estate. I was questioning how they determine the amount she “deserves.” If she deserves it just by being a wife and a mother, then every divorcee deserves the same amount. If he made less money would she deserve less? If that is the case, then the amount she gets is not actually based on her deserving it. It is based purely on how much he was able to bring in. Thats an archaic system and he should deduct the amount of a dowry that she didnt bring into the marriage.
gee! I need to find me one of those…. LMAO
@kdog
i see what you are saying but their are other factors in this situation. Time, sacrificing her career to raise a family. I’m sure some business venteres were her idea and not his. She had some say so or part in these business decisions. Just b/c she’s not out there like Kimora doesn’t mean she isn’t as deserving. And a lot of guys/girls know how to work the system to avoid paying child support. But a person like MJ cannot avoid mentioning his funds. Its all about the dollar bill.
@Harlem Chic
Are you a woman of Juanitas stature? Then what the hell do you understand?
BTW, I think I am a man of greater stature than MJ. I will never abandon my family. I learned from the best, my father, and will teach my sons the same thing. You don’t know me, but if you did, your opinion would be very different.
Let the hating begin.
One down one more to again, hopefully shaq will give Shaunie what she deserves.
All I got to say is we fly high we ride and you know this ballin……
M ike Tyson Bought My House
Good. I have seen him out on several ocassions with a bevy of blondes…he leaves with them…so obvious. And the dude from the Rockets…Mutombo (sp?)..seen him leave a Houston club called Belvedere’s with chicks too. Lawd. His wife won’t get as much as Juantita, but she needs to call Juanita at the same time as Shaunie…LOL but absolutely true!
^^^^^^
Both them chick need to talk to Bob Johnson’s cheatin’ ass….she got over 1.1!!!! BILLION dollars and he isn’t a billionair anymore according to Forbes
HA HA HA HA HA! HA! HA! HA!HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
1.1 billion TRUMPS 168 365 day a year and 366 in a leap year LOLOL!!!!
@ $un Godde$$
If it takes $168 million to leave your A$$, then you’s a HO.
^^^^^Ooops, I meant Bob Johnson ex-wife Sheila Johnson with his cheatin ass lol
If all women decided not to deal with men and be celibate and single, how would that make you men feel? Some of you menfolk (NOT ALL) view women as nothing but toys for your amusement, and that’s not right.
amen shawb
He made more than that from “Space Jam” and don’t forget about his NIKE deals. She is one of the few athlete’s wives’ that deserves to stay in the same lifestyle. http://www.myspace.com/GOTSTRONG
@N-Qui-Sa-Tive
The thing about sacraficing her career, she would not have made 168 million in her 20 odd years of marriage so if its about that then give her a couple mil, most people won’t even make that!
And 2nd I agree with alot of other people in this post who are saying she had hired help she prob doesn’t know what it is like to do an honest days work!
TJ
Why are you so mean to women, in general?
Look, if my man didn’t want to deal with me, I’ll let him go.
But Juanita had his kids, and she stayed when she could contracted a disease such as HIV from Michael’s numerous indiscretions of his marriage. Oh yeah, Juanita was the woman Michael said he would be faithful to unto death. So, how is it that Juanita or other women in YOUR VIEW are hoes? If you hate women that much, why do you bother with any of us? I’m not going to name call you, dear. I want a real answer.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
U crazy ass hell cuz they pay for the ride AND their tax dollars pay his salary
Pick another excuse….
@sun goddess
If all women respected themselves more, then they could rule the world. Man would do anything for a woman especially if he had to. The probblem is, we dont have to.
I will justify it for you. He can fucking afford it!!! He will make that money back in one year. She and the kids, will continue to live in the life they are accustomed.
Another thing: I have helped my man out in some occassions with money gifts. Many women say I’m foolish to give money to my man, but I did it for love. My man has given me money, too! Now, if I give my man money, and he gives me money, am I still a hoe, TJ?
I can see why Oprah isn’t married.
shit like this is why i am never getting married.it was his talent that made all thse things possible.she contributed nuthing but kids to the marriage (which he played an equal role in contributing too)she didnt contribute no millions so why should she get that much?fuck if she held him down.if he wasnt a talented player from highschool she may not have stck with him.she was always after the dugh.
fuck women.i am never getting married.i just wrapped up my mba and law school and i would be dammed if i let some woman take all that i am gonna achive just cos we got hicthed.
@ Oh F@ck That!!!
It was an analogy and the bus driver pays taxes too.
KDogg
I agree, black king. I really do. I try to carry myslef in a way that is respectful and decent cause so many young women my age (26) have their heads not where it’s supposed to be.
I see what yall are saying. But marriage is about a union. Not the assumption that you are going to split. So she is entitled to her share. She shouldn’t leave with a million or two. She was the backbone at home. I think its a small portion of what MJ has personally. What I was saying about her career is that she prob. told the judge that. you can’t imagine how much money you can get from telling the judge a tall tale (I call it the what if game). That’s the price you pay for divorce. It’s not suppose to be easy.
Juanita deserves every dime she will receive. She was a mother and wife for years and was not in the working world. She was an at home caretaker and this job alone deserves respect. Think about the years she missed in a 401 k plan, Social Security contributions, etc. Not to mention the fact, she was in a marriage with a person that wished she was white. Unlike, Shaunie who took every minute and opportunity as a photo moment and to be in Shaq’s ass…Juanita was never seen, she was at home taking care of her family.
So pay her quickly!!!!
Stop eff crying, as many baby daddy as the young AA American are creating y’all practically giving away child support checks. SO STFU and stop hating!!! She got that amount cause he is worth that much has he been worth 50 million she would have gotten 25 million. It’s not her fault her man isn’t the average Joe. IT must suck to be a broke ass nicca. Haters gone hate, talking about what that woman got are you current on your child support payments??? Take care of your own business before you pass judgement. For the record 21 and NO KIDS!!! So this lady is bitter, just speaking the truth!!!!
KDOGG if your wife makes more money and you eventually divorce hey go get yours. That happens all the time you know. Don’t think wealthy women or women who make more money do not pay alimony as well. Ask jay lo, janet jackson, halle berry and a host of other wealthy women celebrity or not who divorce their spouses and paid a shitload of cash to their exes and continue to do so every month. So you can stop the sexism right there.
Regrading using the word “deserving”….who are you to judge whether the former Mrs Jordan is deserving or not? That was the judges decision and the laws of the country. No spouse male or female can be married to each other that long and not be deserving anyway. Also you might be surprised to find out that micheal jordan himself most likely thinks she is very “deserving”. Not all people who divorce fail to understand the extent to which their partners impacted on their lives in terms of emotional support, raising a family…and financial support as well, because many times the spouse is very much working as well. I think your perspective is sad simply because it is clearly based on sexism (seen from your comment about dowry)
I bet 99.9 % of the people who say that she deserves the money are women……..
Fucking disgusting………
Speaking of Oprah.
If she married a man and stayed married for a couple of years and then divorced how much should he deserve? If she didnt make him sign a prenup, then he would be looking at half. I do not think thats fair.Oprah built the empire. Even if she married the man early in her career, if he wasnt responsible for her siccess why should he get half?
I dont like this whether it was a man or a woman.
Harlem chix do you know how it is to be married to a superstar ? if not then you shouldn’t questíon others knowledge.
And don’t act like these women didn’t know what they were marrying into. Men with power and money will ALWAYS (regardless of race) attract women (including their wives) it’s biological. You act like the didn’t get anything out of this, which the have. Shaunie cheated on Shaq as well.
But Juanita probably deserves it even though she hasn’t done anything special beyond what MANY women do and have done before. Great job Juanite you got yours and that always a achievment and if she was faithful and he not. Then he got what he deserved. And she too. Cheating is never okay.
^^^meant to say!!
Is not BITTER just speaking the truth. Make sure your child support payments are current. Don’t want drama word to the wise if you can’t feed them don’t breed them.
“But marriage is about a union. Not the assumption that you are going to split.”
That’s my point, too. I’m old fashion and if I am blessed to be married, I want to die old and with my husband, not divorced. Same question: what does it take for a man to stay with one woman?
@Sun Goddess
TJ’s (marquis de sade’s) mad cause he hasn’t gotten use to rejection
Look i aint mad at juanita…
but if the shoes were on the other foot would you females be saying the same thing…
nah you’d be bashin dude like “be a real man”
@ $un Godde$$
This ain’t about hate. It’s about having to pay someone $168 million to resolve some hurt feelings. Now lets’ be honest. Juanita was getting a little long in the tooth. And we all know, that most women tends to age like vinegar not wine. She knew damn well, years ago when M J blew up, that pussy was going to be a temptation. Hell, that’s how her slutty a$$ was able to latch on to him back in college. And don’t give me that “she could’ve caught HIV” shit. If that bitch was worried about catching std’s, the last nigga she would think about fucking is a goddamn popular jock. Like i said, the only thing that bitch deserves is $20 million for services rendered.
And this ladies and gentlemen is why I will never get married. $168 mil??? That’s ridiculous. It seems to me, being a single black man that’s done pretty well for myself that most women are out for the almighty dollar. I don’t know all the circumstances and whatever went down in their marriage only the two of them know that. But why get married? I know some say to share your life with someone you love and to have children, but to me it seems like most marriages end in disapointment and resentment. Especially when your rich and have tail wagging in your face constantly, and why is it wagging, it wants to know where them dollas at.
I NEED HER NUMBER!
BOSSIP! GET ME JUANITA’S NUMBER.
I aint sayin I’m a Gold Digger, but I will definitely be THAT NI99A!
That Ni99a that you gon talk about.
That Nigga that all Ni99as gon wish about.
That Nigga that will spend a lil cash.
That Nigga that’ll palm huh A$$.
That Nigga that’ll wine and dine Juanita.
That Nigga that’ll were a black wife beater.
That Nigga that’ll Spend Michael’s cash.
That Nigga that’ll sit back and Laugh.
Laugh at how I’m spending another Ni99as money.
Laugh so hard that even smart Ni99as’ll think it’s funny.
That Nigga that’ll travel the world.
But I’ll be best known for taking Mike’s Girl.
Bossip I needs her number so I can move in and be set for life.
I think a lot of people think Kevin Federline was a crook who didn’t deserve Britney’s money, but seeing how she acts now, I wonder is this what he had to put up with. I think he should have gotten more.
Look, if Oprah got married, and she cheated on her husband for most of the marriage, I say he deserves to get her for as much as he can. You do not make that promise to God and to your husband or wife and turn around to forget it.
Why all the hate on Juanita? Mike himself has said she was always there for him and helped build the business. There was and still is NO animosity between them. People forget that Juanita has an education and was a marketing exec when Mike was chasing her. And I did say she helped him build the brand ‘Jordan’, to what it is today. Mike has no problem with the settlement, why should we?

Some of you women have kids and are getting basically pennies each month in child support while Puffy has to pay thousands each month for his kids. Are his kids better than yours? Do you need 20,000 a month to raise your kids? I hate how this sytem basically says that 1 child is better than another. These child supports cases go from one extreme to another. I know a lady that only gets 200 a month when daycare alone costs her 150 a week! The system screws her but then awards another mmother 20,000 a month. Please!
^^^^^^^^^
You call yourself educated with a comment like THAT? THE COURT IS NOT SAYING ONE KID IS BETTER THAN THE OTHER, IT’S BASED ON INCOME ALONE?!!!!
You can expect orange juice from a lemon?!!! Puffy’s worth est 345 MILLION so 10% of his income is A LOT HIGHER THAN THE AVERAGE MAN’S 10%!!! If a man only brings in 2,500 a month the OF COUSE HIS 10% is smaller.
It’s just simple math.
And NO ONE is taking into consideration the fact that they have businesses OUT SIDE OF BASKETBALL!!! And, she probably helped him to invest his money better, hell, probably GOT HIM TO INVEST IN THE FIRST PLACE instead of wearin’ a bunch of diamonds and being ostentatious like most of these broke rappers frontin’ like they are rich.
Just like Puffy, Diddy and 50 didn’t get rich JUST OFF OF RAP, Jordan didn’t get to be worth over 300 million JUST OFF OF BALL and he didn’t KEEP that money all by himself either.
Michael didn’t marry a dummy and neither did Bob Johnson. Maybe that’s wear they fucked up. Should have just married hoodrats so they could get over on them LOL!!!
Fucking disgusting………..
She deserves 168 million dollars for pumping babies out of her pussy……
Give me a break…..
I bet 99.9% of the people who are saying that she deserves the money are women….
That’s why you should never marry women, their only purpose is to satisfy a man lower regions, nothing else. And that’s not worth 168 million dollars.
UPDATES for the Kanye West story:
http://perezhilton.com/?p=8692
Jan Adams is the Beverly Hills plastic surgeon that performed on Donda West before she died.
The shady doc has been sued for malpractice before and lost! TWICE!
In August of 2001 he was ordered to pay $250,000 in one claim.
In September of 2001, he was ordered to pay $217,337 in another malpractice judgment.
Additionally, Dr. Adams has been arrested for DUI. Twice!!!
On March 31, 2006, he was arrested for blowing a .10 blood alcohol level during two breath analyzer tests and putting him over the legal limit. The case went to trial and Adams was found guilty of driving with a blood alcohol level of .08 percent or greater. He was sentenced to 96 hours in L.A. County jail, had to enroll in an alcohol treatment and counseling program and attend 60 AA meetings and five years probation, the papers state.
In 2003, he plead guilty to driving under the influence and was placed on three years probation, which included a three-month first offender alcohol and drug education and counseling program and restricted him from driving anywhere but to and from work for 90 days.
As if all that weren’t bad enough, in April of this year, the Executive Director of the California Medical Board asked the state to consider revoking or suspending Adams’ physician and surgeon’s certificate.
On Monday, Adams claims he did nothing wrong in relation to the death of Donda West.
We’ll see about that!!!

@ momo
My comment about dowry was used as a comparison to this archaic woman automatically gets half system. The current system was in place befor the majority of households had two working spouses. It was put into place to protect the spouse that became the caregiver rather than pursuing their own career. That is not the case these days.
And back to to the word “deserving”. I have just as much right to my opinion as the judge does on this site. This is not a coutrooom. And I clearly stated that I had a problem with how the figure she deserved was caculated. If they truly believed she deserved 168mil then every mother/wife deserves that. However, that decision is not based on merit, it is based on how much money HE brought into the family.
WTF is that on Rosie’s chin?
Is that a dried up Blood clot, from her get’n her Red Wings?
Wasn’t Rene Elizido (what ever the dudes name is) secretly married to Janet Jackson for ten (10) years. When he tried to get a extra “pork chop” in the divorce settlement, all you women slapped him down by tryin “take” some of Janet’s money. He didn’t sell no records. Right? He even said Janet was sleeping with other chicks (that’s cheating).
But it’s okay for Juanita to get $168 million. Did she dunk on anybody…?
Ladies you have to be consistent. All you know is, “get that money girl.”
For the record there is nothing wrong with marriage. You nicca are so focused on the wrong things. You go after the wrong thing. It’s your own fault. When nicca praise superhead and video hoes I know there head is in the gutter. These are then kind of women you want http://www.hiphopvideochicks.com
And you will continue to have the problem the athletes quit trying to wife a hoe!!!regardless if she is yo baby momma!!! There are good women out there stop being dogs and turning them into bitter angry ass black women.
And another thing. 168 0r 200 million or whatever, is not 10% of Mike’s wealth. He’s no billionaire or anything. It’s probably more like thirty something percent or closer to half. And though, Mike was/is a serial cheater, Juanita kept her mouth shut. If she had behaved like Jummana Kidd, then that definitely would’ve put a dent in Mike’s marketability as a wholesome, family man.
This is why some brothas will never marry.
Kdogg, you have to understand that the rich & the poor have distinct lifestyles. If Diddy was living with all of his kids, you think he wouldn’t be providing them with all that he pays in child support already?
Look at the binaries: Toys R us - FAO Schwarz, Toyota Camry - Aston Martin, modest home - mansion with a ridiculous amt of acres, public school - private school, department stores - pricey boutiques
Why should a child’s lifestyle have to change due to his/her parents’ breakup?
adsa
I bet 99.9 % of the people who say that she deserves the money are women……..
Fucking disgusting………
^^^^^^^^^^^
And you are BROKE.
You do realize you are on a GOSSIP SITE and GOSSIP is for WOMEN right?
You are excused!!!
You call yourself educated with a comment like THAT? THE COURT IS NOT SAYING ONE KID IS BETTER THAN THE OTHER, IT’S BASED ON INCOME ALONE?!!!!—Oh F@ck That!!!
———————————————————–
Thats my point. The amount she got was based on what he brought into the bank account. It wasnt based on merit. It wasnt based on what she “deserved.”
I brought up the child support comparison b/c how can the court justify 20,000 a month in child support. Thats way higher than the cost of living for a child anywhere in the world. Its not about who deserves what, its about getting as much as you can.
SHOULD OPRAH GIVE STEADMAN MONEY FOR STICKING WITH HER FAT UGLY ARSE
What makes her a gold digger?? The fact that she loved him, married him, had his children, built a family for him and tolerated his philandering?? Was it the fact that she devoted the best years of her life to being his wife despite the obvious rejection and disappointment she must have experienced while he was having extra-marital affairs?? Let’s be clear, this woman was his WIFE- not some random groupie who staked out his hotel room just to get sexed and hopefully a check. Juanita was his wife, his partner and no one knows what that duty was like behind closed doors or how hard it must have been for her to face the public despite all the very well-known acts of her husband. For the men who think that these women are not entitled to anything upon divorce, then you obviously have not had the pleasure of having a REAL woman by your side. Any man that has had a woman like that at his side knows that there is a value BEYOND $$ in the way that she loves, cares for, supports and protects her man. I imagine that being that kind of woman, Juanita and the many women like her who lose thier identity to invest their lives into these men, have reinforced these men to go out everyday and dominate in their respective areas. These women sacrifice everything they are to be who these men need them to be and you cant put a price on loss of individuality. Who do you think holds it all together and soothes these men when the media, fans, and their own organizations are at their throats?? Its not the groupie chics that provide them that comforting wholeness- it is the wifes that stand on call- NO MATTER WHAT HE DOES!! That kind of woman only a certain kind of man can appreciate in order to understand that it is worth repayment- esp. if he couldnt offer much else. These women have been the the constants in thier lives and the substance while everyone else is fickle, advantageous and fly by night. Again, I feel sorry for the men who have not experienced this type of woman to know the difference between what a jump off is worth compared to what a woman who will ride HARD for you is worth…
Damn sista I need a loan, lol!
@ $uban$inda
BITCH PLEASE!!!
The funny thing is everyone is arguing about the amount of money she received, that’s probably a drop in the bucket of Michael Jordan’s assests.
He’s not upset about it, why should anyone else be?
That man has created himslef a dynasty, he probably sees no reason why the mother of his children shouldn’t be extremely comfortable for the rest of her natural life regardless to what.
@JerseyBred
In some cases, the kid never experienced the lavish celebrity lifestyle because the parents were never actually “together.” You cant miss what you never had.
If Puffy was happy with the amount he was paying, the he wouldnt have gone to court.
Celebrity pregnancies/babies are like 401k plans for some people.
P.S.- it seems like MJ understnds her worth cause he aint complaining about her settlement, so why is anyone else??
@Kdogg, read what Jersey Bred wrote. Why should the quality of life of Puff’s kids change because the parents aren’t together? If puff doesn’t want to pay that, than maybe he should file for custody and raise the kids how he sees fit, if he doesn’t want to break off 20K a month, but he doesn’t want to raise kids. he justs wants to screw women.
@Roe ski love
Dude, find another schtick. you’re not coming across as funny. you’re coming across as sad, no matter how many different names you post under.
Sun goddess dont waste your time with that first question. A man cannot spend his lifetime just screwing one woman. That is not reality for them. They thrive off fantasy.
@ Anonymous…..Michael Jordan doesn’t even have as much money as 50 cent or Jay-Z????
He’s worth est 398 million, he isn’t even at 1/2 a billi yet and his career is OVER so I doubt it will ever get there which proves my point that he could have dribbled that ball till his bones collapsed and he STILL wouldn’t have become a billionair. THE MAJORITY OF THAT MAN’S MONEY IS NOT FROM BALL!!! It’s from smart investing and smart business moves of which I am sure she was involved
But just for the record, Shaunie don’t deserve SHIT and neither does Kim Porter. Hell Kim didn’t even marry puffy and was just a flat out fool.
Shaunie was BROKE livin’ out here in North Hollywood before she attatched herself to Shaq (poor shack) so it is very circumstancial!!!
^^^^^also, who do you think made sure he didn’t GAMBLE away all of his millions since he is a gamble-o-hollic?
Remember, she went to college to and I am SURE she was smarter than his dumb jock ass LOL!!!
Why do you people care if she gets 168 million? That’s problem only 10 percent of Jordan’s wealth. And guess where that money goes when Juanita dies, to her KIDS with Michael Jordan, as it should. Wives and parents need to start taking money for their kids. Get as much as you can? Why? Scroll down…
See the NBA dude that now has zero dollars but 10 kids?
Will his kids have an estate? Private schools? Good education?
NOOOOOOOO.
So now you have an NBA dude that WAS making millions, who now has kids that are basically underprivileged.
Black people can’t get ahead. The only people that want their kids to be poor.
In addition, on the topic of undeserving, Michael Jordan doesn’t even DESERVE the amount of money he has. I think it’s funny when people are like, “she didn’t dribble a ball or win any rings”. WTF?
Let’s talk about how people that save lives should be making more money than boo boo the fool that dunks a ball.
@CubaLinda
Apparently she wasnt what he wanted or he wouldnt have cheated. They wouldnt be getting a divorce. No one, including myself, knows what went on behind closed doors in their home. She may never have been anywhere near as supportive of him as suggested. Look at where Oprah is today. If she was married then her husband would be entitled to half just because he was her husband provided her a shoulder to cry on? Well hell, then Gayle King, and DR. phil need to get their lawyers ready to sue for half!
Scottie, Rodman, and Longley, need to get their lawyers ready as well. Jordans success in the pro’s included all of them. Scottie p was with him for all 6 rings. He supported Jordan as well. He “deserves” half.
Check this out, fellas:
I gave my man cash. Twice. Why? cause he needed it, and I love him. Guess what? That was the moment he realized he loved me, because I didn’t hestitate, nor did I nag him about paying me back. My man paid me back, though. With interest.
I am not with him because of his money. That is not how I was raised. I am with him because he is my best friend. He is my black king. I stand with my man through whatever. I know I love that man. Not his wallet or cars. I can get my own materials with my own money, but I can’t find a man who understands me liek he does. Money cannot ever buy that.
I said that to say that you have black women out here who can and will love a black man the way he deserves to be loved!
I must admit, Sun Goddess, you’re a better woman than I. I can’t loan a grown ass man money in times of need.
Personally, I don’t think anyone over 25 should be broke. That’s men or women.
very true Sun Goddess
COT DAMN!!! that’s a lot of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
I wonder if she wants to adopt a grown child??
Make it do what it do, Juanita! Mike should have thought about how much his wife “deserved” when he was out there sporting all those white blonds on his arm while his wife was home taking care of his children. This ish is just too juicy. Shaunie, take notes on how the big girls play this game, boo.
All the time they are home joining the NBA wives club and doing what’s expected, these ballers are parading these white girls around like they were the wives. Should have paid more attention to their responsibilities at home, not all of which are financial.
Don’t cry now is all I’m sayin….
Divorce settlements are based on income. MJ makes more than the average man, so therefore child support and/or settlements are going to be more. The law basically states that Juanita is entitled to continue to live in the lifestlye that she has been living in for the past 20yrs. If MJ is a good man, he would still want to keep her and her kids in the same environment especially if he knows he is the main reason for the divorce. Also depending on if a prenup is signed, they could out stipluations in the “nup” that says if he/she cheats then they can get a certain percentage of the income. MJ is probably worth way more than that, so 168 mil is nothing to him. He is always going to make money.
I’m not sure if you all remember a couple of years ago, MJ was accused of fathering an outside child, I think that the paternity tests proved that he wasn’t the child’s father…So no telling how many others are out there but we just haven’t heard about it.
Having an opinion on what she received shouldnt make me a villian. I have said from the beginning that she deserves something. I am just questioning the figure-168million? I’m questioning the automatic 50% rule. She was not a housewife. She had oppurtunity and an education. Why should should be entitled to more than what she put in. Why does the primary breadwinner have to always lose in divorce court. What if she “only” got 20million?
It amazes me how people get into heated debates, do research, go back and forth with people they don’t know ABOUT people they don’t know on a GOSSIP BLOG.
Do yall really think $168 mil is hurtin’ Mike??
Seriously…
kdogg
Speaking of Oprah.
If she married a man and stayed married for a couple of years and then divorced how much should he deserve? If she didnt make him sign a prenup, then he would be looking at half. I do not think thats fair.Oprah built the empire. Even if she married the man early in her career, if he wasnt responsible for her siccess why should he get half?
I dont like this whether it was a man or a woman.
_____________________________________________________
If Oprah is truly a smart woman she will make sure that she is covered b/c no matter how much some people say they marry for love, if they are marrying a million then its possible that its not for love.
^^^^^If they are marrying a millionaire
@ kdogg
I think $20 million is more than reasonable.
