Ellin Barkin Gains $4.3 Of That Revlon Money

You watched many victories of female celebrities, whatever she is known or unknown, claiming  against their husbands by the help of law. The unknown actress, Ellen Barkin, who had an almost unrecognizable role as a sullen drug-addict mother in "Chameleon," which recently premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival just won a tidy $4.3 million lawsuit against her Revlon billionaire ex-husband Ron Perelman. The Manhattan Supreme court ordered Ron to pay up with interest.

 

Ellenn Barkin and Ron were only married for five reportedly tumultuous years. In 2006, Perelman conveniently filed for and quickly got a divorce, just days before the prenup would have kicked in, giving Ellen Barkin more alimony. Despite that, Ellen Barkin still got a decent chunk, some $2-3 million a year. And after the divorce, she also sold all the jewelry Ron had given her for an estimated $16-20 million. 

But Ron had also signed an agreement to make four capital contributions to her film production company, for a total of $3.4 million. 

But when Ellen Barkin talked to the press about not taking legal steps to obtain a "get," which is a Jewish religious divorce, he reneged on the deal, saying she'd not heeded the confidentiality restrictions of the divorce contract.

 

The Manhattan Supreme court didn't like that and Thursday Ron was ordered to pay up with interest, making it $4.3 million to Ellen Barkin - that's big pimpin'. Now Ron surely got a shocked and not to think of divorce next time!
