John and Beverly Charman

John and Beverly met at school in 1969. When they married in 1976 neither had significant resources. In November 2003, Mr. Charman, nicknamed King of the London Insurance Market, told his wife he was setting up residence in Bermuda and their marriage was over. He initially offered her $7 million in cash, but she argued the sum wasn t enough. To make a long story short Beverly was finally satisfied only when she won about $95 million in cash and property.
