CNN sexist headline really annoys me here: "Cheating wife gets [View All]

millions." So what? Her husband was worth millions. You never see 'cheating husband' in the headlines. This story could have had other bylines, if you read it.

Guess it is unusual, as usually when a cheating husband leaves behind wife and kids, the single father's living standard almost always goes UP after a divorce where Mom has custody, but the Mother and children's standard of living sinks often below poverty level. I guess that is 'normal', and so not a headline. But for a WOMAN to get millions (27% of the estate)...that's just terrible.

BRIDGEPORT, Connecticut (AP) -- A judge has awarded the former wife of a multimillionaire businessman a divorce settlement worth more than $40 million even though she admitted having affairs with her rock-climbing guide and a man she met on a flight to China.

In addition to a $24 million payment, Susan Sosin will keep the couple's $3.6 million Manhattan apartment, $2 million Utah ski house and $800,000 home in Wallkill, New York. But she has to vacate the couple's two mansions in Connecticut and three desert properties in Arizona.

In the divorce granted Wednesday, she also gets to keep $6 million in her brokerage accounts, eight cars and $2.9 million in jewelry, including a ruby piece her husband had bought for her but hadn't given to her prior to their divorce
