There were a lot of celebrity divorces this year and, while some of them have been able to dissolve the union amicable, others have not been quite so successful. Kaley Cuoco’s soon to be ex hubby is asking for her to pay his legal fees and provide him with spousal support and Brian Austin Green is also asking Megan Fox to pay him alimony as well. When you’re a super successful female celebrity, things like this happen! Here are 8 female celebrities who were forced to pay their ex alimony.

8. Elizabeth Taylor

Upon meeting Larry Fortensky, a construction worker who was 20 years her junior, during one of her stays at the Betty Ford Center, Elizabeth Taylor fell head over heels in love. She married him, but made sure to get a prenup. Five years after they tied the knot, the two were divorced. Even with a prenup, Fortensky was awarded $1 million in spousal support, which was probably more money than he’d ever seen in his life.
