Reports indicate that Charlotte Powdrell, Sportsman Israel Adesanya’s former partner, has taken the matter to court in an attempt to secure a portion of his earnings.
However, since the estranged couple was never married, there is no legal precedent for such a claim. Nevertheless, Australian law seems to offer some recognition to long-term relationships even without marriage.
Charlotte evidently believes that she is entitled to a share of Adesanya’s fortune based on her support throughout the years.
However, Adesanya has shown resistance and did not easily comply. The UFC star, who is of Nigerian descent and based in New Zealand, has an estimated net worth of around $4 million. In response to the news, he took to Instagram and expressed a wish that she would lead a miserable existence and referred to her threats regarding his assets and businesses, such as Puma.
Some fans have jokingly suggested that she should endure half the punches Adesanya received in the ring during their time together. Others have speculated that in the current “woke” culture, she may expect a settlement out of court, possibly around 10% of his wealth. A few individuals also believe that this situation might discourage young men from aspiring to marriage or entering into any form of dating.
The case brings to mind the saga of PSG star Hakimi, who earns $1 million monthly. His wife also sought half of his wealth, only to discover that everything he possesses, wears, drives, and spends technically belongs to his mother.
The experiences of celebrities in their love lives truly demonstrate the challenges and fragility that come with fame and fortune.
