Lately, tech billionaires have made headlines not for their products or services but for their failing marriages and the unfathomable wealth at stake.

Last month, Google co-founder Sergey Brin filed a petition for the dissolution of his marriage to Nicole Shanahan. According to court filings, Brin, who has a net worth of US$93bil (RM409bil) and is one of the richest persons on the planet, is asking the court to deny his wife spousal support. He isn’t seeking it either.
