Marla Maples received about $1 million in her divorce settlement

The Trumps’ prenuptial agreement indicated that Maples would only receive $1 million if they were to separate in less than five years’ time. The couple announced their breakup near their fourth wedding anniversary, so she forfeited any larger amount she could have received.

According to CelebrityNetWorth, Maples demanded $25 million in her divorce, but received $1 million in addition to another $1 million to purchase a home. For child support, she received $100,000 annually until their daughter Tiffany (who was four at the time) reached age 21.

Trump apparently inflated his overall net worth during the divorce proceedings to end his marriage to Maples. Although he was likely not a billionaire, he claimed to be worth $1.17 billion.
